"this music only ever existed in the English folk clubs -it has no other home"
,,..,

But that's coz u-lot came & squatted in our folk clubs, and, as squatters will, began to self-delude; & then try to spread the delusion that they were your clubs.

Why, I asked as far back as one of my Taking The Mike columns in Folk Review back in 1973, when Ian A Anderson admitted that the folk clubs were the 'only recourse for the singer songwriter', did he & his mates not go & establish some SingerSongwriter clubs where they could have sung their old *Abe Lincolnish stuff to your ❤❤❤' content, without destroying what we had so painstakingly built up? But answer came there none...
