GUEST,Heard it all before Emma Hartley stirring it up again (54* d) RE: Emma Hartley stirring it up again 02 Feb 13


The funniest bit, and the aspect that shows what illl-informed nonsense Emma Hartley is spouting (as usual) is the reverse snobbery argument. If she's right (and I mean that in the most Torygraph sense of the word) the folk world dismisses Mumford & Sons because of their poshness and public school background - all folkies being chippy lefties, you see. Which explains why Bellowhead, with their Oxbridge degrees (wasn't Jon Boden's dad the bursar of Balliol College?) have been so roundly despised and snubbed by the folk world and the Folk Awards. Oh. Wait...

The usual contentious, groundless opinion presented as journalism. Best ignored.
