You know what just struck me. I have just come back from the May Day celebrations in Skipton. It was perishing cold for early May and it rained later but we managed to avoid it. I sung along with the Keighley Road Wassailers and their selection of traditional May carols. I then played concertina for our Morris side on 2 traditional dances. It was all in public and the shivering crowds seemed to appreciate it. And now I am being told by someone who left folk when the going got tough that I am doing irreparable damage to the folk scene.

If it wasn't so bizarre it would be funny.
