Interesting thread. If the abuse and violence is as widespread as that - it probably says someting quite damning about our society.

O'Hooley and Tiddow are very upfront about the sexuality of ther relationship - in a way that is quite unusual for folkies of their age. I think we are all used to young kids expressing their love for each other. But somehow we all shift uneasily when middle aged folk wax lyrical.

lets face it - as a society, we are full of crap attitudes to sex.
