Jim Carroll said much earlier of the clubs:

they fell into the hands of people who don't like or understand folk music

Yes, they did. He departed on holiday so I said:

Chaps, you'll just have to scream at me instead

And you did.
And what prats you have made of yourselves.
Thanks to those who broadly agree with my experience, because they were there too, some of whom have met me on the way and haven't seen the need to bombard me with ludicrous assumptions and patronising sexist crap.
