Yes, well, in this country (UK) the folk world is a closed down community and woe betide ANYONE not of the right heritage (that being the folk world itself) who DARES to try and make it more popular...

You wanted it kept your own little world, you have it.

The one thing you all forgot was that you won't be here forever and instead of letting others try to get the word out, be they artists or those who love the music, you pounce on them, ridicule them, shut them out and do all you can to shut them up....

Ho hum
