Two completely unrelated observations:

a) I thought this was going to be along the lines of the new Torydom would inspire such angst that a plethora of songs would be "inspired". After all, Maggie did a great service to spleen venting folk.

b) A lot of folk isn't cheap. Folk clubs often charge a couple of quid for a singaround; or five, ten or more pounds for a guest act. Many pubs have equally "good" music available for free.

Maybe the recession will encourage free open sessions.
