Eh? What?

SoH are presumably Show Of Hands, the well-known and deservedly popular three-piece 'Best Duo' :

EFDSS are, I'm presuming, the resurgent English Folk Dance and Song Society :

Israeli-backed attack, however, and indeed the whole resulting thread title ...

Eh? What?

This was a"black" operation, organised by Comhaltas to smear Mossad, as you will see in today's Guardian.

It may be hard to believe, I know, but there are actually some people who don't read the Grauniad. I'm one of them.

It might have been more helpful if the OP had provided either a link, or given more detail.

This is so much more fun I have copied this from the other thread:

We could open a competition for the best anti EFDSS headline. We could do headlines in the style of different newspapers:

Cancer link to EFDSS Morris dancing fanatics - The Daily Mail

Topless dancers sacked in EFDSS dancing scandle - See page 3 for picies - The Sun.

Actually, I'm very surprised that SoH haven't written a song about Israel and Palestine. Mind you, they'd have to go a long way to write something better than these two songs...

'Jabaliya' - Ron Bankley

a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HwLLZ04QPc4">'Two Brothers' - Pete Morton

As for headlines, heck I don't do those...but I do articles.. ;0)

From The Common Sense Times:

"It's rumoured today that the EFDSS will be attending the forthcoming Israel/Palestine Peace Talks in Washington, in the vague hope of being able to learn to stop their bickering and get their own 'organisation' sorted out.

It is also hoped they too will start to remove their own barriers, fences and radar from around the English Folk World, allowing, 'food and water' in, at long last, in the guise of people with tastes from all musical backgrounds. It is also hoped, albeit a distant one, that they will also begin to see Singer Songwriters as their friends, not their enemies, for they are the Bringers of the New Tradition, the lifeblood of the people.....

Of course, the rest of the populatin already understands that 'their' world is OUR world too, but sadly, some folks who tend to love organisations with rules and regulations have always sought to make themselves bitter Rulers of their own Island, failing to realize that we all dwell upon the same Land"

I think a good follow-up to 'Arrogance, Ignorance & Greed' would be 'Hypocrites & Promises in the Promised Land'

It could be a song which speaks of fAlse fRiends who Speak with Forked Tongues, Fingers Crossed behind their backs, and Smiles Worn on the Dark Sides of their Faces.........

This could be followd by another, called 'Friendship, Trust & Loyalty'

And this song would speak of those who are True Friends, who use their Tongues only for Supportive Words, whilst their Smiles Shine Out from the Honest Side........



"Stick gets wrong end of Lizzie Cornish"

If a Stick carries a Tree Spirit inside, whose Goodness & Honesty is as Twisted as the Home in which it Dwells, then yes, it will always get 'the wrong end' of me...

Hi Lizzie

Thanks for your contributions, though they seem a little serious given the nature of the thread.

BTW Did Seth Lakeman have an off day at Cambridge Folk Festival or is he really that bad?

"Thanks for your contributions, though they seem a little serious given the nature of the thread."

I have always written as I choose to, never in the way I'm told to.



"BTW Did Seth Lakeman have an off day at Cambridge Folk Festival or is he really that bad?"

When you can pull in the amount of people Seth Lakeman can, who are prepared to give you their hard earned money, to hear you sing and play, then I'd imagine you'll be able to comment from a slightly better perspective.

Seth Lakeman - cambridge 2010

Maybe you were in the wrong tent, Ian, seeing the wrong artist. Probably you wandered into the fRoots tent by mistake, I'd imagine...

Ho ho ho, eh? ;0)

Oh, they DO. It's the one where The Serious Ones gather, fingers in ears, fingers on ballad sheets, fingers stuck up to the ARSSs they so loathe, who are actually the ones brining in the Folks to the Folk Festivals...

Question for Lizzie C:

I seem to remember you posted on the fRoots forum a while back but were eventually banned as you're as mad as a hatter. During that time though, prior to your ban, you didn't seem as anti Froots as you come across now - I'm just curious if something pushed you into such a strong stance - aside from the ban, I mean.

I'm not a huge fan of Ian Anderson's editorial style, although I support fRoots and hope it doesn't close, but I'm always taken aback when I read such vitriol towards him and his mag on sites such as this.

Hmm. Hmm?
