"Do bear in mind, however, that these non-specialist twee gift shops joints have been conned more than once in the past into stocking the BNP-propaganda end of the 'English' market and artists have had to struggle to get their work withdrawn from this sort of 'endorsement'."

What's the story here? Sounds like quite an interesting cautionary tale. I've always been suprised that the far right haven't muscled in on traditional music and tried to claim it as their own special thing. Or maybe they have tried and been successfully repelled? Or are there artists out there who should be avoided like the plague?

Cheers
