BS: Compensation for folk

I recently saw a craft cruise advertised and googled to see if there was a folk cruise. Instead I found this article on a German couple who went to court to be compensated when the cruise they had booked on turned out to be full of swiss folk fans.

Soured by folk music

wonder if it could spread to pubs.

Brass bands and yodelling from dawn until late at night! I agree that's unacceptable. Brass bands are very loud (they're meant to be played outside) Poor things. Only 30% refund doesn't seem enough.

I suppose so.... but not a single gen-you-ine folkie among 'em.

I'll hire out to play Hran at pubs incessantly and take a take of the the proceeds when folk sue the pub for abuse of folk.
