My group was performing at a rather low-key street festival recently. One of the acts was dance competition between a couple of kids, and as a lot of the audience had wandered away the MC got onto the PA asking for people to come up to the stage to support the dancers. No-one did, except me, whereupon the MC grabbed the mike again and bellowed "One of the folk singers has come along to support the dancing. If a folk singer can support the dancing, why can't you normal people."

It had never occurred to me that folkies are regarded by some (many?)as being abnormal, but I was favourably impressed by the idea. I straight away suggested to the group that we change our name to Kultchral Deviantz, on the grounds that a] we were and b] we would be an irresistable magnet for yoof.
