Captain - oh dear, I hate to say it but in the trade of "interrogators" (otherwise known as interviewers) in my previous line of business the question which you asked at the head of this thread is known as a closed question - to which there are actually only two possible answers - YES or NO . 8 pints has effectively provided a NO answer - and now so have you!!! So IMHO I really don't think that 8 pints merited that response.

(As my profession required the wheedling out of information,and establishment of facts, we were trained to avoid closed questions , and to ensure that any question was framed in such a way as to open discussion out ... amazing that even now the habits of training from a number of years ago still come flooding back ... as now do some of those interviews, and the occasions where the use of a closed question ended with a lack of information and an inability to "break the case" :-( )

Incidentally, questions about THE folk revival always intrigue me - which one - the 1850's, 1880's- early 1900's, the 1950's, 1960's or 1970's - an indeterminate genre (ie folk revivals in general) or even now?
