"But given Jim's sheer nastiness on this forum"
Perhaps you might point some of this out Jack - nobody has so far
Jim

well lets see.....

1) you accuse me of hating traditional music, because I don't share your enthusiasms
2)Dave caused the downfall of the folk revival - because he ran a club not in line with your tastes. And has no balls.
3) Nasty comments about Coope Boyes and Simpson. Lester Simpson has had a long career in folk music and his BBC Derby show, Folkweave that he did with Mick Peat was one of the best outlets for traddy musicians. I didnn't get invited more than the once.
Its a long thread - no doubt a folk revival researcher in a hundred years time will catalogue all the people you have decried. You have insulted many people.
