Subject: RE: The current state of folk music in UK
”well backwoodsman think what you like. the evidence is different i organise a folk festival which is a broad church., and encompasses a wide folk repertoire, i have even booked jim bainbridge”

Dick, it’s nothing to do with what I think, and everything to do with evidence, on this and other threads, in black and white. If you don’t wish to be viewed as someone who thinks he’s a ‘guardian of folk’, stop pontificating about what tunes/songs should or shouldn’t be played/sung together, and making pompous statements such as ”you think that nancu [sic] works with blue moon perhaps this throws light on the current state of folk music in th [sic] uk”.

If you insist on behaving in a boorish, high-handed fashion, don’t piss and moaning when you’re called out on it.
