Thread Name: Vin Garbutt Sings the Songs of ...
Subject: Vin Garbutt Sings the Songs of ...
I'm a big fan of Vin Garbutt. I think he is one of the most stimulating and interesting of artists. If anyone out there doesn't know his work, start with his live album " Plugged". Now, I feel that Vin is - even at this latish stage in his career - capable of winning a massive audience. Martin Carthy couldn't, and , I don't believe, Kate Rusby could. But, if Vin were given an hour of prime-time TV, I think he could break big. Why? He's funnier than Billy Connelly and his intense singing style would appeal to an audience raised on rock. Now, in the meantime ( while we wait for a TV producer to contact Vin ), I think what Vin needs is an album to appeal to a wide audience. - thus the title of this thread: "Vin Garbutt Sings the Songs of ...". Any suggestions? Serious ones please!
