That just reminds me to wish everyone including the Folk Police Happy New Year. As it's is New Year lets have a bit of a nostager quiz.

In which years did Ewan MacColl's Dirty Old Town get into the Charts?

Who wrote song the Hit "The First Time I saw Your Face"?

Which Female American singer turned "The First Time I Saw Your Face" into a hit and in what year?

In what year did Folk Music become unpopular music and why?

Whose arrangement of "Scarbough Fair" did Simon and Garfuncle us turn that traditional song into a hit?

Should Folk Clubs and festivals employ the Folk Police armed with used BBC bleeper and buzzers to delete and censor any "Folk Songs" that might end up being in the charts?

When considering your answer to the last question please be aware that the BBC's recent bleeping's have helped to turn "A Fairy Tale In New York" into the top selling Christmas Song of all time! Sending "I'm Dreaming of a White Christmas" into second place!

So you see I'm not totally against the "Folk Police" and Victor Meldrew is one of my favourite TV characters.
Happy New Year !
