Nar you got me bang to rights, guv - I'm a deep throat pop singer, me. (Was even signed to Pete Waterman when I was young and pretty and wore black leather trousers, only).

It's a fair cop. Even if my songs were Oralised by Others, me doing my own versions (well, there would be some erosion, but not enough to satisfy the IFMC) would not qualify as folk. You've blown my cover, Richard - I'm a marked man now. (But maybe I qualify for the EFDSS Witless Protection Scheme! Where's that flier?) :-)
