Point taken Ian, but it's just as well for us non-miners that Tommy Armstrong, Jack Elliot and Johnny Handle felt differently.

I don't go to Roy Palmer concerts because of his overt politics, but I don't think that's all there is to Roy. He's a fine performer and very knowledgable about the genre. It must be a matter of style, for I do enjoy Coope, Boyes and Simpson whereas I wouldn't care to slip a razor down the difference in political opinions between them and Roy. On reflection, this seems like the same point Ian is making, but about Dick Gaughan.
