One lady took me to task at the Tolpuddle Festival last year, because she said my song George Joseph Smith trivialised violence to women. She told me i should never sing it again, and I was to count myself lucky she hadn't complained to the organisers of the event.

I can't tell you how much it has disturbed me. To be honest I am very lukewarm about singing my own songs ever since. You think - well maybe my time has passed. Perhaps I am an anachronism - singing songs with values that aren't acceptable any more - if they ever were!
