Well worth a read! http://www.englishacousticcollective.org.uk |

I bought Ghosts sometime ago. It is like nothing else whilst still clearly bang at the heart of English traditional music |

I particularly liked the 'love thy neighbour AS THYSELF', something which I failed to explain as succintly to my multiculturalist ex-boss, who had me down as a Little-Englander. |

The type size is too small. It's wordy. Here's an example: "The work outlined on the site seeks to articulate and amplify the case for authentic and meaningful indigenous forms of cultural expression." Their aims may be laudable, but they need to learn what makes a good website. |

I was chatting to him beforehand, and he wasn't aware of this thread on Mudcat so I'm refreshing it now. To tell the truth, he wasn't aware of Mudcat either, but said he'd have a look. He's going to be touring Ireland next March. Kitty |
