I think there is an element "here we are left wing so obviously we are in the right" (as it were) Most people know here that i am a conservative activist and the lyrics apeak just as strongly to me with out putting it on a left right axis.

I have in th past as a club organiser booked Show of Hands and Maggie Holland and for a while Robb Johnson was official resident of a club i was running in slough!

Sometimes the "self congratulatory" left wing of the folk scene seemingly want to keep the music to themselves (i dont mean the artists) perhaps this is why some people think MOR is the worst curse you can utter. folk music is for everyone Cllr
