Of course I made it up. It is a very funny video, but I'm sure that some of the humour( and certainly some of the reactions) is sparked by schadenfreude.
   Why are some people so offended that some very good musicians, who did the folk club trail for years, have made good! In Buddhism 'Mudita' is the quality of joy at the achievement of others, rather than jealousy or ill will. Try it, it makes life brighter.
    I posted that little fib to check those who were sniggering down their sleeves rather than laughing out loud, as I did, to the inventiveness of the film.
    SoH are playing tonight at the Exmouth Pavilion, seats 500, sold out weeks ago, could have been 4 times that. No ticket, so will enjoy Topsham Folk Club instead. It sounds like some correspondents would wish SoH to still be doing floor spots at Topsham and Exmouth, and dreaming of what might have been. They've made it! be generous! Rejoice!
