    I am now a well ancient child of the 60s brought up with the music of the likes of Leonard Cohen, Bob Dylan, Judy Collins, Joni Mitchell, Joan Baez, Phil Ochs, Bert Janch, John Renbourne, Pentangle et al. Quite how you have managed to re-create those ghosts in a wonderfully creative way that appeals across the generations is a tribute to both your song writing and your soul. Please keep it going!

    PS – I probably wouldn’t have known if it had not been for the Observer, so a pat on the back for your marketing people.
