Boooooooooooooo to you sir on this occasion!

People who don't appreciate their native culture and the history told in folk songs, replacing it the with institutionalised chewing gum for the ears that is pop.

My missus's best mate is the daughter of the legendary folky Nick Jones, who's name checked by Bob Dylan.

I know Nick and his family personally, through my missus and they are top people.

I've also been to a few of his gigs and I'm really sorry but I just can't get my head around the music.

I like miserable stuff too - Joy Division, Echo and the Bunnymen, the Smiths etc, but Folk to me is like a dirge.

But each to their own x

I have his album - "penguin eggs. "

Music is entirely personal. Folk is a huge genre, and there's plenty of stuff I don't like myself - and there are plenty of dirges. Nick is a bit of a Leonard Cohen in terms of delivery, so not everybody's cup of tea.
Then there's the likes of the Oysterband and the Show of Hands - nobody can accuse them of being dirgy!

Penguin Eggs - LOL !

I've got it too, he made me take a copy, to try and convince me that I could get into Folk !

He's a top bloke, very witty, with a wicked sense of humour and loves an arguing about music.

I was had a heated discussion with him about Free Jazz, which he insisted was very fine music !

Turns out he was wumming me and hated it just as much as me.

If he hadn't had the car car crash when he was younger, which left him partially paralysed. He'd have been up there with Cohen and Dylan.

Totally agree.
It was only a couple of years ago I realised he was still alive! In the days before the internet and it was much harder to know these things, all I'd learned, from some source or other, was that he was "an amazing talent taken from us by a car crash." You can see the conclusion I made from that!
Glad he's still around. I bet he's a sound fella.

He's a proper top fella, incredibly modest. He lives in Devon now, with his ever suffering missus in a little tiny village called Buckland Monachorum. I may be seeing them in August when we're in Cornwall, depends on whether is daughter comes and stays with us.

I went to a cousins wedding about 30 years ago at St Helens town hall. It was advertised as a barn dance but was more of a dirge. They played this old style folk music and did this totally weird dancing. It was literally full of weirdos and some of them even got dressed up in historic garb.

They ran out of ale half way through the night so me, two brothers and two brothers in law went the to find an offie to get some supplies for our side of the family. Found a pub and spent an hour in there, so the girlies weren't best pleased by the time we got back. As it happens, just as the food was being put out, and the frozen pizzas were still, well frozen. Apparently the ovens weren't working properly but they still put them out without noticinglol.

By rights, it should have been the worst night out we've ever been on, but on the way home to Liverpool in the minibus, none of us (apart from mum and dad who were horrified with us) could stop laughing. Don't think dad spoke to any of us for weeks after.

So no mate. Folk is not my bag either.;)

Polzeath - North Cornwall, just up the coast from Padstow, so on the other side to you.

Just the best place I've ever been to for the kids.

Would happily move there tomorrow, love the whole place and the people.

Sounds great. Tell him some random stranger on a football forum says thanks and appreciates his work.
