Well actually I agree, I never criticise anybody.

Even if a folk festival has booked people whom I know will bore the living shit out of me. I am the very soul of tolerance. I merely smile and say - well done, where do I purchase my extremely expensive ticket, because even though I don't have the good taste and requisite amount of intelligence to appreciate this excruciatingly dull nonsense - there might be a beer tent, I might bump into old pals and we can talk very loudly and annoy the fuck out of people who are trying to listen. There might be a cd stall selling stuff that I hadn't thought of getting, but I can come home and get it cheaper on Amazon. And with a bit of luck I might be able to get a new corn dolly, as my old one has worn out through improper use.

Think not what you can do you for your local folk festival, think rather, think what it can do for you in terms of innocent merriment.
