Their music isn't just empty virtuosity, the fiddles do all sorts of harmonies, cross rhythms and is eminently listenable. I think that green eyed monster has been in evidence on some of the posts. One or two of the posters have implied that they are some kind of chavs -but you don't get as good as they are without hours of hard work and practice - CAF obviously don't spend all their free time watching Big Brother so let's be grateful in that sense.

If you're good then you can perhaps be excused a bit of arrogance.

It's if you're mediocre and arrogant that it gets really annoying.

But of course there's no one like that on the folk scene, is there?
