From a po faced folkie purist, 20 July 2007

Sorry but I don;t get it really. The standard of music making was high but it just dodn't hit a note with me - I like plain a capella folk so this one isn;t really for me as it is way too complicated.

I must have missed the point, 20 July 2007

I know that everyone has their style but I came to the folk genre via Coope Boyes and Simpson and so I would urge those people who have given this CD rave reviews to buy 'What we sing is what we are' and you will understand why I found Holy Heathens such a disappointment. The vocal quality was poor in comparison and none of my nerves tingled.Hey ho!

A great little read, 20 Mar 2007

I was sorry to read the review of Baggie Blog and with respect I think they missed the point.The book is written as if through the eyes of a 9 year old and as such hits the mark. How many of us have names for things based on the misunderstandings of words by children?

The story reaches the inevitable climax masterfully - I found myself guessing the end on the page before it comes out but that merely intensified the experience.

We should all read this book and ensure nothing of this type ever happens again.I found it more engaging and thought provoking as a result of its simplicity.
