well lets see john p.

i played last night to help oout at a friend folk club for nothing
I played tonite for nothing to publicise Wessex folk festival for nothing.
i'm organising singarounds tomorrow and sunday at the kings arms for nothing.
I've done stuff like that every week for the last forty years on top of my professional work.

so what do you do for the folk revival that makes you so bloody superior?

i'm retired now as a pro musician - a heart condition means i can't climb upstairs carrying amps and pa systems - but i did it for many years. i'm a proud mu and full prs member.

however lizzie is cock on when it comes to buggers like you. you despise anyone professional enough to make a living out of music - some kind of sell out, a moral failure- except of course for your heroes who once let you buy them a drink.
