Sandman - yesterday I was in the mood for a moan about something that happened over 30 years ago..
..as best I could remember it...

so you chipping in now theorising exactly who's to blame is a bit pointless so long after the event...

f@ck knows who they were, who the bar manager was and what he was doing, and how many pints were sold that afternoon...

There's unfortunately insufficient evidence and witnesses [reliable or otherwise..] to satisfy public interest for a full invstigative enquiry...

To be honest, I'm not even certain now if it happened in the 1980s or 1990s...
as I'm sure many more pints were sunk later that afternoon and evening.....

Though I do believe such a stuck up supercilious middle class folkie mindset still prevails in UK folk culture to this day....

.. perhaps even more so....?????

..and that "casting pearls before swine" attitude sure don't help present a good welcoming inclusive image of trad folk
to the perception of the mass of ordiary modern music lovers...???
