""sitting arse about face on a chair" - again
It's not as if the sniders who go in for this sort of invective put any thought into their sniding - this ignorant stupidity has been lifted directly from something that has done the rounds for as long as I have been on the scene
A bit of intelligent, creative and original imagination in criticism of singing would add to discussion like this no end
Itt like a scratched record stuck eternally in the same groove

"Interesting that a folk artist thinks that, given a couple of tweaks, "
There's far too much unused and unsung folk material to need tpo tweak pop songs that you ca never make your own Dave - why bother - they're largelt crap songs anyway compared to the great stuff that is lying dormant
I'm damn sure that kids who like such stuff would much rather hear it performed well rather than read from crib sheets by indifferent singers in folk clubs
