Let's face it, playing folk music is at the moment "odd". My reaction to people finding my taste "odd" is to say "No this is really good. Listen it's relevant to you." and play music that connects with others hopefully without compromising what I feel is the nature of the music we love.

There are others who seem to "like" folk music because it is "odd" and will go to any lengths to prevent "ordinary" people connecting with it. These people are to me the Folk Police and they should go somewhere and disappear up their collective orifices because they damage the spread of our wonderful music.
