Subject: RE: UK Minister insults folkmusic: complain!
I can assure you that having heard Kim Howells give an odd rendering at Labour Party Social Functions at conferences, he is not anti folk. - If it had been, say "The Blackleg Miner", "Cosher Bailey", or say that Valleys favourite "Hymns and Arias" then he would have had no complaints.

Don't forget it was Terry Pratchett who coined the phrase "West Country and Western".
