Whether you agree or disagree with me is of no interest to me.
Neither is your opinion about this thread of any interest to me
Peter was a flamboyant performer, I believe he was insecure, possibly as a result of his upbringing, his father was a fascist and close ssociate of Oswald Mosley.
As a songwriter I would not put him in the same class as MacColl, but he produced some good work,
I Think he was remarkable in developing his Art and his Music, his musical style was idiosyncratic, OUTGOING FLAMBOYANT, but one of his flaws was his inabilty to recognise and praise other skilled performers who had a different more subtle approach,
But it was charcters like Peter,Mrtin Windsor PackieByrne, that made those days of the uk folk revival so intersting, they seem to have been replaced by competent grey men who have little interest in the tradtion and who sing in estuary accents,their inane tedious pop with a folk flavour
