Just reading back with disbelief at some of the sneering sods criticisng Ralph McTell's accent.

Some people wouldn't recognise creative endeavour if it bit their balls off.

Personally i count myself blessed to have seen Ralph work and own some of his recordings. His lifetime of songwriting work speaks for itself. His guitar work has been inspirational.

Over a period of forty odd years Ralph has established through his many achievments the right to sing in exactly the voice he wants. he has proved with his life the artistic validity of his contribution.

In the bowels of Christ, consider that what you think you know about folk music might be wrong.
