Fucking hell,with this Thread title the folk movement tears itself apart,when Liverpool is still hanging on to concepts like this, especially when we think of Derek Hatton and his cronies.
Why oh why didn't it call itself Liverpool , Cultural City , collection of songs of working people through the ages.
Why the "class " word - we're all trying to make our way through this life , give it a rest - Not for me .
