My daughter, now almost 20 and for all her life a stern and all-encompassing critic of folk music has experienced a conversion!!!!! I would like to pretend it's through the benign and gentle influence of her esteemed parent ( me, I mean) but actually it was getting to know a member of the band "Boys from County Hell", as talented a bunch as I've ever heard play and reminiscent of the wild and whacky Pogues but with a better lead vocal.

Still, however it came about, she has now eschewed her love of black, dog-collars and heavy, thrash, garage, mayhem rock ( or whatever it's called) and has taken up guitar and Childe.....it's a happy day!
