Personal animosities aside, "self-regarding bollocks" could also be couched as "an individualistic, unconventional and enthusiastic approach". Hopefully dodging the sycophant tag, I like that and I like much of what I've heard of S O'P's music – it fits my own approach to music (which, I have to admit, I sometimes worry is perhaps self-regarding bollocks - but, if so, it's MY self-regarding bollocks).

As regards the relevance to this thread, maybe it's this way of approaching folk music that is leading to the over-engrandising tag of a new "revival". More likely, though, it's just individuals interpreting and playing the music in a way that they enjoy and perhaps others do as well. Hope so.
