Howard Jones BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards 2016 (56* d) RE: BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards 05 May 16

I'm not sure the acts playing Cambridge are aimed at serious enthusiasts for folk.

Perhaps it says more about my own tastes than anything else, but when I first got involved in folk "Folk on Friday" with Jim Lloyd was required listening, and everyone I knew listened and talked about it. Now I only listen if I happen to be in the car at that time. In fairness, there will usually be something I like, but plenty more that I'm fairly indifferent to. "Middle of the road" about sums it up, but I don't agree that's typical of the UK folk scene in general, and as I said earlier it doesn't reflect the music I listen to and participate in.
