Worst manners -
We were sitting behind a veteran Folkie 'star'from NE England in a London Club where a young woman singer from the Aran Islands was a guest.
Out of consideration she gave a very brief descripting of her Irish language songs, during which out Geordie friend talked loudly and deliberately. When asked to shut up he replied 'I came here to listen to f******* songs, not talk; I thought we'd got rid of this s*** thirty years ago.
