'Guest eliza c'

Awwww...cone on, lighten up, kid.

You see, that's half the trouble with the English Folk World and those at the EDSFSDDS&M...they take themselves soooooooo seriously.

I mean, 'eliza c' could you explain to me why, for years, they verbally punched the hell out of Show of Hands, saying they weren't 'folk'...but then...THEN they have Goldfrapp performing at Sharpingham Palace?

Beats me, that's fer sure...but hell, what do I know..?

Traditional Goldfrapp

And how come Jim Moray's the Traddies darling, doing all that electronicwhirlyjerlyderly stuff, but Seth Lakeman is a big nonononononono.....

The English Folk Dance and Song Society is nothing more than the headquarters of the Folk Mafia, who for way too long have sterilised this music.

Hello? It's the music of the people....Peasants, NOT Professors..as I've said before...It doesn't need to be 'guarded' like the Crown Jewels, but set free and given back to the peasants, of which I am one.

And if yer average peasant doesn't want it, well....blame Cecil Sharp, because he and like minded folks made this music the life blood of the Folk Intellectuals, who put it in drawers, behind cupboard doors, into aspic and then re-wrote it all with new rules and regulations, whilst sniffing down their long aristocratic, upper class snobby noses at the poor peasants who simply were so stupid that they just used to *sing* the songs with no understanding of the meaning, the history, the chords, the dates, the origins, the lyrics, the oompahpahpalava...

Oy Vey!

Sorry, but the sooner Sharpingham Palace becomes the 'What The Fuck It's Folk Society' the better off we'll all be....taken back from the Professors and given to the Peasants once again...
