"AND he's just won Folk Singer Of The Year...so that makes him a BLOODY GOOD FOLK SINGER!", says Lady Cornish. Does it indeed??? Mmmm.... refer to point 4 of my first posting on this thread (and note the use of capitals; very reminiscent of "The Sun").

Is it at all possible that those that do not enjoy Mr. Lakeman's music could just be classified (if, indeed, classification be necessary at all) as "people who do not enjoy Mr. Lakeman's music", rather than "wrinklies", "fundamentalists", "begrudgers" or whatever other offensive label certain people choose. I find it difficult to comprehend when people tell me they don't like Shirley Collins, but many people do tell me that. I've never gone into the business of giving them labels. To me they're just "people who don't like Shirley Collins".

It's simple really, ain't it?
