GUEST,Blandiver Traditional Music: Where are we going wrong? (416* d) RE: Traditional Music: Where are we going wrong? 11 Oct 13


If you hate folk music so much, why don't you just fuck off?

It's an ever-so-slightly slightly altered passage from Ivine Welsh's novel Trainspotting actually, Richard - albeit C&P'd from the internet so I can't vouch for its accuracy since my daughter nabbed my copy of the book 15 years ago & hasn't as yet returned it. If read rightly, is an affirmation of the very things about folk that I actually find very positive. Go read it again.

And if I hated folk, I would hardly bother, now - would I? As it is I've been folkin' since I was 11 in 1972 (or 73) and see no reason to stop now. So please be civil, eh?
