Subject: RE: Folklore: Is folk song really political?
Well, hurrah for Keith & Sylvia but was it political?
(I suppose in the map-drawing sense of extending the boundaries of Derbyshire to the sea it was).

I was in a venue not long ago when the racket Dick G + noisy cohorts kicked up with No Gods & Precious Few Heroes produced complaints from the karaoke downstairs. Couldn't take the politics.

Venues come and go. In the East Midlands Loughborough used to be dire but it's doing OK now with concerts, ceilidhs and a very fine new festival. Depends who's doing the organisation I suppose and yes, Steve, it's an American . . .
