contempt!

your utter contempt for all the in the folk music organisers, all the people who try to keep the creation of folk songs a fresh vibrant option of self expression is etched in acid in every phrase of your correspondence.

maybe you and Phil need to have folk music transformed into some pile of atrophied junk with Ewan's little lion stamped on the outside and the approval of the Irish government (when its not persecuting teenagers who need an abortion), but thank christ the huge majority don't.

yes i do have respect for the Larners etc., but I'm not uncritical and I wish the people who try to perform stuff like that would take the shit out of their ears. A lot of the stuff isn't that good, and they're debollocking themselves fruitlessly trying to breathe life jnto it.
