My word chaps,as long as no violence occurs. Smashed guitars are not a pretty sight... banjos, accordions, melodeons, possibly, but not guitars. I know very little about politician's involvement in the 50s'60s folk revival. I know that Tom Paxton is, or was, extremely anti-establishment, possibly still is. I had heard it said that Tony Blair's agent in Sedgefield was a folkie. Pity it didn'r rub off on Howell and Jowell.
