CAPTAIN SWING,Folk music is there for a lot of reasons,it is not there just for promoting political discussion,although political discussion is one valid face of it.
organisers /promoters should not be pressurised into booking a performer.
Vin Garbutt appears to be a popular performer,who doesnt appear to be short of work,his fans get plenty of oppurtunity to see him, so whats all this fuss about,a veritable storm in a teacup.
I respect Vin as a performer.I also respect his right to air his views.
I am in favour of abortion under certain circumstances,and am prepared to tolerate one or two anti abortion songs in his set,but that doesnt mean I have to applaud them either,.
Of course this is all great publicity for Vin.,Who is avery good entertainer,and a charming person.Dick Miles
