I'm full of admiration for the this Adrian. He gave a very full and sympathetic explanation of why the situation arose those years back. Don't know if it's changed at all since, but hope it's unproved, just for all the oldies & disabled etc.
Oh yes, my admiration is also because of the way he's taken a couple of quite ordinary singers, and conned people that this is folk music. They have the most inane & boring delivery I've ever heard, (zzzzzzzz....) and although their material is good, (based on the classic Northumbrian repertoire) my admiration is for how they have all made money out of such crap!
