I nominate the 'prats' in the media who purposefully ridicule our folk heritage in all it's forms. The cheap laughs are at the expense of the ethos that makes us, and them, what we are. What I think is worse is when this attitude translates into discriminatory action or lack of it.
I suppose my greatest claim to fame is standing on a stage in Portugal in front of a live audience of over 5,000 as a musician with Dorset Triumph Folk Dancers representing my country at the first European Folklore Festival.
We didn't win but we were there and the final show was televised by EuroVision to millions across the whole of Europe, except that is, for the UK whose television broadcasters decided, in their wisdom, to ignore the whole thing because it was 'folk'!
