"I think that Dick is right in challenging the statement that Peter Bellamy was "politically rightward leaning"."
We met Peter at a concert he did with Walter Pardon at Cecil Sharp House, not too long before he died.
We had a long and somewhat sad conversation with him during the break where he expressed his alarm at not getting enough bookings.
The reasons he gave were, "My right-wing views and my Larry the Lamb impressions".
Sorry Vic; it doesn't come closer to the horse's mouth than that.
