"This is bloody brilliant: John Grant GMF "

Agreed - much better than listening to some spittle-bearded bleating traddie groaning out yet another tuneless version of John Barleycorn.

My advice to songer/songwriters is ignore the likes of Breedloveboy and Canalwheeler and get on and do it. Those who can, do - those who can't, sit around and whinge about the rest of us.
