dedicate it to Miss Easeby, Sinister Supporter, Jack Campin and greg stephens.

Apart from anything else I was first attracted to Folk Music because it seemed to represent something genuinely human, away from the marketing, hype, bollocks & lies of mainstream so-called culture & the utter ghastliness of its music. As a tender 14-year-old I was very impressed that I could sit in the dirty back-room of a pub watching an unamplified, unaccompanied singer giving her all before an audience of 15 people who'd never heard of her either but were nevertheless moved to buy copy of her LP Airs & Graces, as indeed was I. My feelings on the purity of Folk Music notwithstanding, the ghastliness of the other thing remains very much intact - as does the marketing, hype, bollocks & lies of mainstream so-called culture as evidenced by the hype-fest over poor Susan Boyle that has somehow spilled over into these threads.

What should she sing next? Maybe she should try this:
