I know you're not, Al. But once again you are making sweeping generalisations - In short, whatever your committe said in 1954

It's not MY committee. I have FA to do with it, yet because I happen to like traditional music, amongst as I have pointed out, many other genres I am tarred as a lifeless, soulless, misery who likes nothing better than spoiling other peoples fun. Far from it. I am more welcoming of any music genres than a lot of people. There are some I do not like - Jazz, Opera and Rap in particular. But I appreciate that is my fault. There is nothing at all wrong with Jazz, Opera and Rap. I just don't understand them.

I would never dream in a million years of suggesting that the music I do like should occupy the space taken by another genre. Why is it that one persons personal crusade against an entire type of music is seen as harmless, yet if her tirades were against a race or religion they would be seen as dangerous.

Please feel free to visit Swinton Folk Club at any time and know that you would be welcomed with open arms. No money I'm afaid but warmth and friendship abound:-)

Here - Try it out !

See you soon.
