Ewan Spawned a Monster

Can you not accept at least that my reality is as valid as yours?

Certainly as long as you can return the favour without accusing me of "folk Stalinism" simply for relating my own experience. It would help if you didn't condemn the entire "UK folk world" on the basis of your dismal experiences in Mudcaster.

As a matter of interest, are you saying that there are no folk clubs in Mudcaster or that the ones that there are are crap? If it's the latter, it's not surprising that you don't want to identify it.
