"dont go dissing those people who want to choose that path",Ralph Jordan.
Sorry,Ralph but you cannot shut me up,I reserve the right to say I dont like something,All perfromers have to put up with that.
I did/do not like particularly some things that you have been involved in,that doesnt alter the fact that I recognise you are a good concertina player,I do not like Peter Pears treatment of WALY WALY,however he is a good competent light opera singer,I have a right the same as any critic to air my opinion.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0gHTw9XjKMc
I do not see that as the future of folk music either,because it has no connection stylistically with the roots of uk traditional music, neither [imo]does Jim morays inclusion of rap in lucy wan,just an opinion.
performers have to live with opinions and criticism.
