Subject: RE: folksingers who quit,and why?
... just spotted this now.... "But PLEASE stop being so I'm-all-right-Jack complacent."

Look....., don't misunderstand me. I'm not complacent, neither am I trying to be patronising. Those epithets are usually flung around when an impasse is arrived at.

I care very deeply about the folk scene. Part of what drives me over here is to help create a 'scumbag agent-free' zone...., 'cos (and you can believe this)..., there's a lot of people take advantage out there.
It's not just a Scandinavian thing; give the wrong kind of person a position of power, and the scene can crumble down around your ears.

I could find a dozen other countries that it would be easier for me to operate in, but I choose Norway and Denmark.
I do this because I want to help expand the market.

I'm the least complacent guy in the World, Guest.

I care very much....
