Subject: RE: UK attitudes to folk music
Perhaps we should also hang the politician (while we still can, but can we please torture her first, as she tortured us?) who prevented Mayday as such being an English bank holiday, and gave us the spring bank holiday instead because mayday was associated with socialism.

But Malcolm Douglas you are rather right. Conversely, the idea that all folk musicians went to grammar school is rather alarming.
