GUEST,Doc John	Mouldy Figs - Folk Equivalent? (6)	Mouldy Figs - Folk Equivalent?	10 Apr 11
Most of us know who Mouldy Figs are: jazz enthusiasts who believe that Jazz is the music played by King Oliver, Johnny Dodds, George Lewis, Kid Ory etc and not that dreadful stuff Ken Clark listens to. Johnny Dankworth played contemporary music and certainly not Jazz. What is the folk music equivalent: those who totally reject electification, fusion, keyboards, choirs, strings, recording tricks, most stuff in Froots, Dylan etc? If you can't play it on a street corner and if it isn't by the folk, about the folk and for the folk, then it ain't folk. Mouldy Figs (Folk) or something else? Count me among both by the way.
