Thread Name: why well run folk clubs are important
Subject: RE: why well run folk clubs are important
Oh, that one, Mick. I'm quite prepared to talk about that but I'm surprised that peeps don't know. I regard the term 'folk' to be so terminally damaged as to be quite, useless and indeed counter-productive. This is because it has been abused (especially in North America) to encompass anyone with an acoustic guitar and penchant for producing instrospective crap which ought never to be allowed beyond his/her bedroom door, or alternatively, wifty-wafty, new-agey, pseudo-celticky drivel, each of which has penetrated the consciousness of the general public who, if they think about it at all, think this is 'folk'. It is such an abusage that I satirise it as a Whitehoused swearword.

[As for the rest if what the Guest said, I can only advise an accelerated comprehension and literacy course which may assist in assimilation of what I actually said. Ha! Expect the majority of Mudcat users to READ THE POSTS?]
