But I'm saying we have to ask ourselves why the nation doesn't fall over backwards to give us some dosh. I't's no good keeping complaining that it just ain't fair. We have to address the reasons for the reluctance. Folk music is seen by a lot of non-folkies as inhabiting its own strange, cliquey world. You know it's wrong, I know it's wrong, but if that's what people think the government is not going to throw money gleefully in our direction. I mean, can you demonstrate how folk music can be used to help define our "national identity," still more drag in the tourist quid? You've got a job on there!
