As a young man Chris Rea played bagpipes in a Village-People inspired hi-energy dance band called "Folk."

The entire band pretended to be gay in order to appeal to their target audience on the Blackpool nightclub scene, and to that end Rea appeared on stage in a bottomless gimp suit.

This led to the phrase, "nowt as queen as Folk."
