As one of the younger mudcatters - I'm only just turning 60...!!!??? it seems to me that where the old guard have failed to get on and work out a sensible solution with CM; maybe now the time is right for a new generation to try to achieve an equitable resolution.
Past arguements, grudges, bitterness, insults, etc, have only exacerbated problems, and left this hoard of folk music heritage rotting away into oblivion.....
