It may not be to everyone's liking......but what the hell. Live and let live. People go all over the world to listen to or participate in forms of culture which appear incongruous to the area or country . If people wish to combine their love of sand, sun , sea, sangria, song and folk music then so be it. Perhaps it would add authenticity if such events were staged up a cramped sooty chimney with 42 shot swans, 5 couples in unrequited love dramas , a smattering of symbolic herbs , poached deer and a quick run around the capstan. Just GO and enjoy the music and everything else on offer....including the like - minded people there . There is little wonder that folk music often self destructs and gets a bad reputation through it's elitism, obscurity and pretentiousness . Enjoy the music with a different backdrop and climate.
