Fair point Howard, I meant it adds to the story of 'folk''s evolution in this country.

A I got a steady job, married, had kids , started doing up a house and so on I found folk clubs in the late 60s too twee and way out everythin gtom 'My baby done left me i Hunslett, singer songwriters and too micuh fairyland as well , so I stopped going and went back to playing with ordinary guys in Irish music pubs , local carols and traditional singers all arounfd the country.

So this book filled in a lot of stuff that I missed as a non 'head' or 'stoner'


Punk didn't kill folkrock , just added to its variety. No Clash, no Pogues, Levellers, Oyster Band even Bellowhaed ?   Elecricity and Merrie England seemed to be the theme, as the cover indicates..
