"Quality is never a matter of opinion. "
Nothing to do with quality Dave - interpretation is everything in art
Nobody quibbles with the instrumental skill of Steeleye but as far as I'm concerned, their interpretation of folk songs is virtually non-existent - isn't that the same with all art ?
I love Shakespeaar's 'King Lear' but nearly walked out in disgust at Anthony Hopkins's (undoubtedly a good actor) interpretation of it at The National back in the nineties
"It ain't what you do but the way that you do it - that's what gets results" (as the song says)
