Sir, – Kathy Sheridan's article "Garth's appeal eludes arts elites" was terrific (Opinion & Analysis, July 16th).There is a degree of snobbery of various kinds in a lot of us.
Her inclusion of the critic Carl Wilson’s quote was apt – “It’s always other people following crowds, whereas my own taste reflects my specialness”.
It reminded me of a lady I knew, who, when asked about the decor in her friend’s house responded, “Well it was furnished to her own taste”. Enough said. – Yours, etc,
