"All I can say is that I've always gone to folk clubs, and the most usual reaction when you mentioned Froots was a look of total despair."

I think by now we may be establishing that folk clubs are no longer
a significanly representative and authorative voice
on anything in the wider world outside their clubs...????


Maybe folk clubs are the music world equivalent of the DUP...???

Though at least for the moment the DUP are still allowed to exert disproportionate influence on the present & future of the vastly larger UK...
