What excited me when I first came into it was the performing aspect and doing blues-oriented material, rock/blues oriented stuff, basic stuff, basic what they call rock 'n' roll.

In the gentle evening freeze, by the whispering shady trees I will find sanctuary in the Lord.

I never paid attention to what was contemporary or what was commercial, it didn't mean anything to me.

I went back to Belfast and started a club, the Maritime. No one had thought about doing a blues club, so I was the first.

Skiffle was a name that was attached to what was, in essence, American folk music with a beat.

In the media, a reviewer has his personal vision but it's passed along to a million readers or whatever. He might think that this particular song sounds like Jo Blow. Or like a Bo Diddley record that he heard six years ago. But the artist who made the record may never have even heard the Bo Diddley song. We all respond differently.

Everybody's got their own particular vision which is a personal thing.
