Giok - yes, I thought that folk music left Ambridge when Tom Forrest died, (leaving only Dross, C&W and line-dancing - though it has to be said that Buffy Davis who plays Jolene used to sing in folk clubs and even came to Herga on one occasion. On the other hand,no, Tom Arnold was married to Roseanne Barr. It was Bob Arnold who played Tom Forrest. He grew up hearing songs because his father kept a pub.
