HMMMMMM......Now that we've got the troops lined up, where are all the good folks who I thought would find this and give us one hell of an argument about the Corries' value? Dammit, if they don't come, we'll have to play Devil's advocate, and trash them ourselves.

Other reasons that the Corries were not taken seriously in the British folk scene:

They were hilarious (but unlike Billy C. stayed in the music biz) and could easily have gone into comedy, full time.

Seriously though. and I don't care HOW popular it became, when I saw the video of Roy and Ronnie doing "The Loch Tay Boat Song", I damn near cried (and that's something I very rarely do).

Cheers
