Suerly the fact that a major act on the 'folk scene' used the phrase at all is all the evidence we need.

Er, Alex Campbell died 20 years ago. As far as I know he has never contributed to Mudcat. Are you saying his attitude is responsible for the current (alledged) parlous state of British folk music? According to the Folkclubs Are Crap brigade, the modern folk scene is totally infested with GEFFs and with people who defend mediocrity. I'd just like to see some evidence.
