It's true Sean, you and Rachel are the focus of a serious personality cult down here at The Beech, erm ........honest. We have kept it a secret because we know you will be against that kind of deep, personal artist worship.

As for BP. unique, powerful, mesmorising, talented I could go on. The heart of hearing old songs/ folk songs/ traditional songs is to be in a small acoustic space and have somebody sing a song that filled almost all of your senses. I heard him in the Grove, Leeds. That's what Peter did. He could do it on stage through PAs, saw him at Chester Festival around '78, and that was the measure of his talent.

We owe it to him, and all those people across hundreds of years, who sang the songs simply because they liked them, to go out and sing them again.

Need I say, The Beech, Beech Road, Chorlton, Manchester every Wednesday?
