You can be as abusive as you like, GSS, but I have provided the links showing what the leaders of the folk world have done, how they are thinking, and what they are actually doing in the UK at the moment. Those are facts you cannot deny, and I am doing it with them. I'm not much known in the folk world, nor have I any ambition to be, because it's populated by bilious ill-tempered grumpy old men like you, who have done something in the past but don't seem to be doing anything to progress the world of folk now. You're only as good as your last gig is an old truism in music, and just as there's differences in the folk world between the UK and the US, you hardly need me to tell you there are also regional differences within the UK writ large. This book is about mainland UK clubs, and the conversation went to where mainland UK is going. I've shown you the thinking the top people are actually doing and if you don't like it, do your own thing and validate it by your efforts. Where are you going yourself at the moment?
