I must make an apology. Earlier I made the comment Unless you are referring to the Spinners TV programme and similar folk dross ;-)

I did put a wink at the end but in case anyone did not realise, I do not wish to say the Spinners were dross. In fact I believe the Spinners did a great job of bringing folk to the masses and I saw them live once or twice in Manchester. I used the term unfairly in dealing with Jim's dismissal of other music as "non-folk dross".

To the Spinners and their legions of fans, I unreservedly apologise. Mea Culpa.
