OK, Plowie - thanks for all that. I've archived it for 'come the time'
- the budget will come from Swim (she's the one who wants the
recordings), so I'm not Shure how much I'll have to play with...??

Shure mics are mainly rubbish imho.

I'd have been scared to say that, much as I agree.;-)

But the main problem is people see, say, the SM58 on TV or at concerts
used as intended as a close vocal mic where lots of foldback is involved
and decide it's a good mic for anything. Including some who should know
better, unfortunately.

Use a decent European one like Sennhesier or AKG.

Not exclusively. Sanken, for example, make some decent mics.
