I don't know what his "folk roots" are - all I remember is really liking his stuff from the 70s - Witches Promise, etc were and still are some of my favourite songs. I actually haven't heard too much after 1980 (shame on me I'm sure) but I noted that Fairport's Dave Pegg became a mainstay in the band - I'm interested in hearing other comments on this thread - I may actually go out and get more recent stuff!
