Thank you Peter. My original concern was about the spin that's put out by even the local folk festival. No one cares about the 'smart' talk about 'behind the scene arrangements', fine detail and small print. It is all about public perception especially when they are reliant upon their support base to provide income, an income which can be viewed as supporting their own hobby / addiction to folk music. Smart talkers have a way about them that enables them to ease their way into a particular niche market and manipulate, bully, con their way into positions which allow them to treat us 'public' as idiots ... as ever! They just want our money / support ... no questions asked!
