Spleen Cringe Is Folk Dead (114* d) RE: Is Folk Dead 30 Oct 12


yours is a very devisive anti most things not trad

I beg to differ. Here's the evidence: Folk Police Recordings.

And for the record, traditional English music makes up about 5% of my record collection. But when I go to a folk club that advertises itself as mainly traditional music, I do assume that mainly traditional music is what I'm going to hear... ;-)

Personally I think there is some brilliant folkish stuff out there that isn't traditional. This is one of the best new songs of the year so far in my opinion, for example: Sproatly Smith: Blackthorn Winter. And oh that we had more songwriters as good as Alasdair Roberts.
