Sorry, I'm sure a lot of you like it but I can't stand it. I think it's the people who play it - they always seem to be politically very extreme and have a huge axe to grind; listen to the lyrics - most folk songs are bellyaching about something or other.

Just as I was leaving I was informed by my drinking partner that the guy on the tin whistle is the chairman of Guernsey BNP

Saying you don't like folk music is like saying you don't like rock music. There are many styles within the genre, some hairy bloke with a guitar and a political agenda isn't what folk music is about.Comment
