Ask whoever raised The Kinks as a contender for the folk scene - try the next thread
I have no interst in arguing about MacColl though I do find it arrogant for somebody to claim nobody wants to argue about him - did you conduct a survey maybe?
You are aloowed to discuss whatever you want which falls under the remit of the forum, which I understand is the traditional arts

"As far as I can see, there are no 'unsubstantiated stories' about him"

Until we are given substantiation it will remain unsubstantiated
You brought in the subject of miners songs and money recently - care to substantiate that one
Refusing to discuss te work and ideas of one of the greatest contributors to folk song is about as far over the top as it gets
