GUEST,Billy Join the Anti-Folk Movement! (31) RE: Join the Anti-Folk Movement! 01 Feb 03


As a presenter of folk music, I have narrowed my definition of "Folk Music" down to the artists' own description of what it is they do. If they say they are "Folk" musicians then I'm likely to believe them and if they can actually play and sing well, I'm likely to hire them. If they are rude and say they are antifolk, well, they ain't folkies and they need to find some other place to play. There are an amazing number of genuine, talented "folk" acts out there, why do we need to bother with these "antis". They may have nurtured and spawned some well-known acts, but they still sound like a bunch of never-made-its.
