Subject: RE: Folk Music and Class
Up against the wall with the lot of 'em. 1000 years under the Norman Yoke is 1000 years too long.

If the Prince of Wales started singing 'The Poacher's Fate', would it ring true? Could he sing that somg and truly empathise with the working men who are starving and poach from the landed gentry?

If the answer's aye, then class doesn't matter in folk music, if the answer's 'nay' then it does.

I'm for the nays.
