and I'm thinking of all the times I've been told off for daring to bring sex into discussion of folk music and musicians.   

Who told you this?

WHY is it that this music, folk that is, some of which is insanely sexy has to be spoken of in hushed tones, with English folks preferring to prostate themselves in front of the Folk Altar, rather than lie down on it...and.....

What utter rowlocks.

Lizzie, if you don't think folk is about sex and sexy - you are doing it wrong.
