Thread Name: Who are folk?
Subject: RE: Who are folk?
The point is that when you are going to obscure corners of the world to interview gypsies, fishermen, shepherds (never check out girls or people working in call centres, or blokes fitting double glazing) - you are ignoring the vast generality of humanity and the songs they sing and the stories they have to tell.
In short we're pissed off with being ignored and discounted by the middle classes who find us SO distasteful and our culture so insignificant.
