this thread has become somewhat like a version of alice in wonderland.
for the record I was a victim of peter kennedy, he illegally recorded a folk on 2 broad cast of a song that i performed and then put it up for sale in his catalogue, Dave Bulmer has suppressed at least one recording that I was involved in.
I have never defended Kennedy.I have never shown contempt for field singers.
Jim Carroll has a habit of accusing mudcat members who disagree with him of saying things they have never said , it is to say the least tedious.
there are many singers and musicians not just "folk stars" who have had their music suppressed for years by Dave Bulmer.
