punkfolkrocker: hmmm.. young commercially astute 'folk' performers...???

I suspect Musket doesn't mean albums by "commercially astute" coat-tail-hangers such as the Mumfords, but by young people like Gilmore/Roberts or the Carrivick Sisters who whilst being excellent musicians are very unlikely to break into mainstream commerciality. I may be wrong here, and putting words into his mouth, but certainly those and other talented artistes who are unlikely ever to become household names form the majority of "folky" albums *I've* bought in the last year.
