"most funding quangos aren't bright...."
IMO as the recent recipient of a rather useful grant, applying for funding is as much to do with the folk scene getting their own act together as it is persuading the grant givers to part with taxpayers money. Blaming '"funding quangos" is easy.

I supoose if you make it up as you go along it's just as acceptible to redefine 'the masses' as it is to abandon any logical definition of folk.
Needs must.... as they say!
