Les from Hull, thanks for scanning the article in.

The article's either evidence of complete cluelessness or sarcasm so close to what some people really believe that no one will notice. He uses the phrase "turgid and anachronistic sounds of traditional folk" but uses Eliza as his 'poster child'. Excuse me? Is there something wrong with this picture?

Wasn't it Ian Anderson who described world (or was it 'roots'?) music as 'music from anywhere else but here'?   It sounds to me as if Morrison's talking more about the assumptions people make about traditional English music and their ignorance of innovative music based on it than actually slagging it. Of course, I want to believe that, because I can't fathom anyone being as dense as he'd have to be to mean it literally.
