back to Susan Boyle, who I still wish did folk music. Maybe she does.

No. The Linlithgow Folk Club has had regular singarounds going for about 20 years, a few miles away from where Boyle lives. (I've been to quite a few of them, despite coming from much further away). There are many other singers' events in West Lothian she could also have gone to - Tattie Bogle could give a better list than me, she helps organize some of them. These range from solidly traditional to completely singer-songwriter.

Boyle obviously doesn't give a flying fuck about folk music however you slice it. She's going to spend the rest of her career, however long or short it may be, doing the same sort of garbage as she did on TV.

I'd rather listen to almost any of the Linlithgow FC regulars.
