Countess Richard is in actual fact extremely knowledgeable in English traditional music and its current endeavours, and a great supporter of youngsters entering the trad music scene. Unfortunately she can't stop herself attacking very nice mudcatters and making quite a few enemies as she goes along. There isn't any need for her attitude.

Personally, I couldn't care less what each music venue does, that is their business, and if it attracts people who play and even more so younger people and a listening audience, then thats great.
