Thread Name: Folk Music and Class
Subject: RE: Folk Music and Class
I left school at 15 years old and was a Sheetmetalworker/welder when I started singing folk music, and only because I married a teacher did I move up to work in an office and then into Computing, (more by accident than design).
But I still (although now retired) think of myself as very Working Class - as was my father, his father and his father and so on - going back to 1798!
