Actually, after tonight's singaround in the Beech, Chorlton, I can think of a lot of reasons to celebrate folk - mainly based on being in a pub side room with a lovely bunch of people who enjoy singing and playing folk songs - and those people prevailing, despite the piped music coming in from next door... and from my particular point of view, gratitude that people are forgiving of rubbish singers such as myself not always being able to carry a tune...

Nice.

And I think, a good reason to do what the thread title suggests we do.
