I agree Jim.
my advice is not to sound like bert lloyd or the critics group, all that is, is an opinion, i also said"it is of course completely up to people how they wish to sing styslitically".
so jim, when my whole post is quoted in its entirety, it makes a nonsense of your own post.
as i have stated before and in many other posts, MacColls contributions to the folk revival were overall very heavily into the plus side, so jim please stop being so defensive.
