Dick - I am Jim Moray.

I'm not sure what to make of Jims comment.

The version of Lucy Wan I recorded a few years ago is (up until a few minutes in) an unaccompanied version over a drone. There is very little to find offensive. I suspect that what Jim is referring to is what happens in the second half - I gave the song to my friend the rapper Bubbz to see what he'd do with the story.

I'm absolutely fine with you not liking it, I can respect that it's not to everyones taste. But don't question my intent or motives. My intent was to do something interesting and that allowed someone else to put their influences into traditional song. I don't have to point out that Bubbz is British and the music is just as much his as it is mine or yours, do I?

ruth archer ,if your introduction to folk music was the pogues,id say youwere not properly brought up or introduced.,but still you got there
