Well, call me old fashioned but i think its a lapse of etiquette when someone lets out a loud smelly fart, says 'better out than in!', sniggers, and then slaps you on the back in an over familiar manner.

How will we ever attract fragrant people like mary Archer into folk clubs, with behaviour like that. We have mudcatters who meet people like that, and her very talented husband. What a first it would be if Jefrey would write us a folksong!

I think this is where tradtional folk music could learn something from Leonard Cohen, who never does anything coarse or unpleasant in public - in fact he always looks very nicely turned out.
