Musket
I said you couldn't afford me Bryan. Looks like you don't need to, the tribute acts are abound since I sold up my business interests in Sussex by the Sea.

Surprised they let you have a visa. Damien and Mike aren't actually from Sussex, Musket. I think they probably learnt Nostradamus from Peter Bellamy and Down Where The Drunkards Roll from Richard Thompson.

Phil Edwards
Less than 50% trad, Bryan.
Yeah, not much more than Ewan Maccoll. I think the proper title of the Kipling/Bellamy poem/song is A Pilgrim's Way. It's the one with the refrain line "The people, Lord, Thy people, are good enough for me!".

Jim, do you want people to take you seriously or not?
