My best mate plays folk. Well, all my best mates play folk, as I met them in sessions, at festivals and at summerschool, so that can only be expected. Friends and school and from wind bands know fine well I'm a folkie - it's fairly common knowledge, as when I'm not playing I'm singing. I frequently get asked to play tunes before band concerts and I'm always the one supplying the tourbus/Duke of Edinburgh group/general social gathering/highly populated public area with songs, because it's fun, and I can normally get people to join in.
