09 Aug 22 - 05:14 PM (#4149865) Subject: RE: Fellside furores From: Anne Lister In fairness, a number of UK performers on Mudcat (including me) will have known and worked with Paul Adams of Fellside and would consider this to be music-related. I did a bit of checking myself and it does seem to be the same Paul Adams, which I find genuinely shocking. And yes, I feel very sorry for Linda, and for all of those young people who may have been directly affected. Hard to know what else to say, except that over my time on the folk music scene I have come across at least two other child abusers (that is, to my certain knowledge). It's deeply unsettling to find another. |
