some things never change, still the same people in the folk world trying to tell others what they should do, the disciple of MacColl reveals his true colours,
Alex Campbell was a generous man, I have been told by two ex organisers, how in his.. hey day he refused to take the larger fee[percentage of the door], just taking the agreed minimium, and saying keep it you might need it some time to keep the club going.both clubs had been packed and busier than they had been for a long time, he was an entertainer whose music was accesible though his quick wit.
He was a giant compared to some of the pontificating pygmies on this thread, if he complained about the hype of young superstars he had justification,no one pulled in audiences like Alex Campbell, he was a very funny man and a good communicator.
