I think you're getting steamed up over nowt, GSS. And you know I respect your musicianship and creative endeavour.

Folk is no different from any other music.

Do you really think Gary Glitter and Suzie Quatro were the most talented people of the seventies? No of course not , but that's what the BBC ran with. Did you really think Carla lane's gentle comedies (i.e. totally unfunny) were cutting edge writing?

The BBC does its thing. Render unto Caeser what is Caeser's.

It has nothing to do with us.
