Jimmy: So how do you feel about the bourgeoisie appropriation of folk music?

Phil: I’m not sure if the second half of that is aimed at me or Jimmy. But, yes, agreed.

Ha…just found this!!

The album title comes from a question I was asked….a few years back …ARTE the French/German TV station came to Brighton to interview us….they spent a weekend at gigs filming us and finished off with a big interview in Queen’s Park (Brighton) where we had recorded a previous EP…I expected the usual questions about influences and ukuleles…nah, they asked “Jimmy, how do you feel about the bourgoisie appropriation of folk music?”…..”How did your relationship with your father affect your songwriting?”…..I gave them the usual daft answers…so they just kept asking the same question until they got a straight answer!

….I never saw the video!

The Ferret thing was a headline in a local newspaper down here!

Ian: Don’t listen to him, you keep rockin’ that didgeridoo.

Armelle: I should have guessed that would interest you. I’ll try to find out.

Gary: Plenty coming up this week. When Father… will be up on *checks schedule* Thursday.
