There has been a lot of discussian regarding Dick Gaughan recently on FB, he sings in his own Scottish accent and he puts his songs over very very well, its inspiring to listen to him singing. So even though I know that some people find difficulty making out his words at first, who would want him to sing in any other way. There are many others from all over who sing so well in their own accent from each country or even regions of England, Scotland, Ireland or elsewhere. It all adds up to make folk music much more interesting and enjoyable.
