I'm not sure I know of anyone whose opinion I would value more than my own in folk music. Faversham folk club has a guest tonight so despite the review on the folk club site I went on his web and listened to the samples. He sounded very nice but he did not lift his fingers while playing the guitar enough so lots of squidgy bits and the songs all sounded the same. I dont think I would enjoy it that much, but he might be much better live.
I'm not sure how a review by someone else could add much, unless someone has seen him live.
Spot on Flora , Your own judgement is best for you, if someone has seen him live, that could be useful if they described what happened at the gig, it is of no use if they waffle on about poetry downstairs, as in the Readifolk review, what is really striking is that all the other artists [kieran halpin bram taylor etc] were all reviewed properly, GIVING DETAILS OF SONGS ETC
