Although I enjoyed reading JB's kick-ass response to some unconstructive criticism, does he really need to explain himself? I understand why one does - artistic temperament will out and all that but there is no need to justify what is already clearly a success in the eyes and ears, of the, 'Hearts and Minds' of all those that make up an ever increasing fan base. Somebody quite important from a little band called Radiohead said something like it is one thing to do things differently but unless you have a following like this band (Bellowhead), ..... I can't remember the rest. On a personal note, I would not have touched folk music with a long pointy stick on fire. Since an accidental attendance at a Bellowhead gig nearly 12 months ago, I am exploring all sorts of music instead of being ensconced in an endless stream indie chart rock that sounds pretty much all the same. Maybe this is what worries a few of the traddies. 'Mustn't cross the boundaries chaps, you never know who might come this way.' JB et al - keep doing the do.
