Walked into the bar earlier in Blackpool - everyone sitting in blissful tranquillity as a long-dead Elvis sings Love Me Tender over the in-house PA; it was a scene of perfect serenity in which I took my place, with reverence in a moment of simple transcendence. Whilst I wouldn't listen to such music by choice, maybe I'm beginning to think that here in 2009 Folk Music can be the culture ambience that surrounds us and moves us and comforts us in the daily grind, carrying codes, messages and memories at once both collective and intimate. Certainly the experience was shared, but we each felt it in our own sweet way...
