He told me recently he has to go to a friend's studio so it's not home recording.


I wonder whether it's a long standing project.

I noticed quite a few years ago when I was bidding on eBay for old LPS etc, that I was up against him. At the time you could investigate who your opposition was on the bidding war!


At the time I wasn't too keen on Jon's voice, much as I love Bellowhead etc,   but I am now, and I wonder if he set out to concsciously work on it. Quite a while ago I was ssaying to people 'I think he's found his voice.' Certainly on The Floddplain Album I was most impressed as I was at several club solo performance.

Of course all singers have to develop their voice and their personal style and technique.


I just hope we get some more good young male and female singers coming through.

Instrumentalist are thick on the gound.




Which young singers on the 'folk scene' do people rate at the moment?

I have afew favourites but they are thin on the ground
