Jim does not need defending by me, John, especially on a topic where angels fearing to tread have a bloody sight more sense than me. But Jim apologises when he gets things wrong more than everyone else here put together. On the matter of folk song it's my opinion that he's quite likely to be right most of the time. Certainly well worth listening to. The faux-outrage directed at him in this thread looks to me like a microcosm of everything that's wrong with the English "folk scene." Plenty of bees in plenty of bonnets.
