Thread Name: Disservice to Folk Awards
Subject: RE: Disservice to Folk Awards
British Folk is now, albeit vaguely, included in the primary curriculum - Just as it was wehen I were a lad - we had to hold hands with GIRLS - otherwise we got our legs slapped - we preferred the slap - and how many half remember Gay gordons from those days and i'm not talking sexual proclivities in the Boys loos here!

LTS Scan those song books in - I'd love to see one again - they were a good idea - these days it would be spice and sound - Posh and Poems - any other suggestions.

Diss - hmmm.... even if it is a bit trite and banal if the GBP recognise it and enjoy it we should not go all elitist about it we need it out there and currently bless them Auntie Beeb is doing a not too bad (but not essentially good) Job of it.

I can't think who to dis - it's against my nature - ever so sweet gentle and affable I am too even if I (and only I will) say it myself!
