"Sorry, Jim, I haven't got time to reply to you latest nonsense."
You never have - wonder why?
"This from someone who doesn't go in for Pissing Contests!"
You really do need an irony implant!
Still no answers
"I guess this is what is referred to by Mr Carroll as being commercial."
No it wasn't - you know as well as I do that the break with Ballads and Blues came about as a result of Malcolm Nixon's, "I can make you a star" policy (see 'No Agents Need Apply' song)
The Singers was booking singers such as those you list as well as helping organise the' Free Pete Seeger' campaign (still have the leaflet), taking part in the CND campaigns, and later The Anti-Apartheid movement, The Folksingers for Freedom in Vietnam, the Anti-fascist movement, the miners' Strike - all voluntary work by dedicated people like Karl Dallas, without Nixon's agency fees.... that's what I am referring to.
Like Bryan - you have yet to respond to the points I have made (perhaps you're too busy too!) but at least you appear to have stopped demanding answers to questions I have already answered
