"Yet you announced yourself as the 'spectre at the feast', "
I said in regard to English instrumental music - something I have little experience of
I know well enough what happened in the clubs because I was involvd when they began to decline
What you (in the collective sense) have told me is enough to convince me that things have got far worse
I do get to the UK - my family lives there, and, from what I've seen first hand shows my impressions to be about right
When researchers start arbitrarily re-defining 'folk' and folk clubs stop putting on folk to the extent they have, while people on this forum tell me that it isn't relevant any more, 'fings ain't what they used to be' is inescapable
