Thread Name: Does Folk Exist?
Subject: RE: Does Folk Exist?
Wha-hey! Watch those Folk Dementors flap about! Sucking the life & soul out of the music as they spread their sorry message of despair and misery!

Don't you get it, Jack & Jim? These ordinary working men and women were the fucking masters - in many cultures, as Jack points out, they remain the fucking masters.

And if it wasn't for The Revival, Jack - you wouldn't even think of such things as being Folk at all - as, indeed, much actual Folk Culture isn't - not least by the Folk who are actually doing it.

Too silly for words? You said it mate!
