I seem to recall that he liked Ewen MacColl who penned the tune "The First Time I Ever Saw Your Face". There were a few other composers he has mentioned which currently escape me. I'll post their names if I can get my synapses to rub their dendrites together long enough to jump start this aging memory.

(perhaps not a 'song writer' but he must have liked Terry Wheelan at some time - at least long enough to make an album with him...)
