Interesting thing, this right or left wing.

In any other social gathering other than a folk club, you could point to the predominance of white middle aged men and make a socio political statement.

Being a bit of a collector of guitars, I sat recently and added up the insurance claim should the pub catch fire during a club night in a nearby town. Eleven guitars, combined value, about £18k, give or take. Slightly different to the clubs thirty five years ago..

I doubt affluence is related to chippy whinging, which some people substitute for pointing out injustice.

Just to add to the Bellamy bit. I only met him to speak to once when we booked him for a festival. Other than getting it off his chest regarding the folk market not being able to sustain full time careers, he didn't come over as right wing to me. Although, I doubt I have ever judged people based on a preconception of their views.
