Frankham: You asked about the purpose of the thread outside of curiosity. Well, curiosity is a pretty good reason, and there has been some interesting responses. However, the purpose of the thread was humour. I had just seen "Folk artists who are pagan", "Folk artists who are vegan" and "Folk artists who are...." (I forget the last one). It then seemed a reasonably amusing follow-on. Strictly, I suspect all four threads should be in the lower section, but until the board moderators rule and shift them there, long may they continue.

One point that might have arisen is that of booze before/during performances. I do know some artists who confine themselves to water/fruit juice/whatever then, without being teetotal at other times.
