GUEST,Howard Jones	Folk Singers who are Politically Conservative (290* d)	RE: Folk Singers who are Politically Conservative	07 Jan 16
Musket mentions Vin Garbutt, and says quite correctly that he sings about social injustice. However it should not be forgotten that Vin has faced considerable criticism from the folk scene for daring to express his pro-life views in song. It appears to me that the folk scene is more than happy for songs to present a political viewpoint, and some would say that is what folk song is for, but only if those views correspond with their own. It can appear to be notably intolerant of views it doesn't agree with. I have to say I find that one of the least attractive aspects of it.
