" I've noticed that they're exerting an increasing influence over repertoire at folk sessions, amongst singers of a wide spread of ages - in recent months I've heard versions of 'Newcastle', 'Go Dig My Grave', 'What Will We Do When We Have No Money', and 'On a Monday Morning', all clearly spurred by Lankum's recordings. This is in Yorkshire and the North West. Has anyone else observed the same?"

Yes, at the weekly Matchstick Piehouse folk club I go to (where most attendees are in their 20s), a lot of the kids have been singing songs they've clearly learned from Lankum for a good 4 years or so now.
