The Proclaimers and much more...

In the interests of paternal evenhandedness it's about time for another recommendation for the always interesting and entertaining Secret Sessions, who have just put up this great video of The Proclaimers reprising their signature song '500 miles'.

For a description, I'm inclined to quote The Guardian 'Finally, a folk troupe whose bonhomie doesn't make us retch. Think of them as the Pogues with good teeth.'

Not an easy thought, but I'm trying...
