Subject: RE: Bert Jansch - UK TV (BBC4) tonight
Derek,
Of course it wasn't a bleeding folk club. It was listening to people like Donovan and his ilk and others mentioned on the programme like Jackson Frank that had sod all to do with folk music and it included Neil Young (who was a singer/songwriter rather than a folk musician) making an awful attempt at a Jansch song that was not in my opinion folk however good a song it might be. It was this type performer and material that came into the folk clubs that kept me away.
And by the way in case you haven't noticed, it isn't only in art that people have different views. Life's like that.
