No problem Poppagator, I hadn't fallen out with you or Carol :-).

This is a very good thread, and shows there is room for everyone depending on what they prefer.

Defining the different types of Folk Sessions has been really helpful for me. I admit to lacking knowledge about the folk scene, and am trying very hard to learn quickly as I go along.

I just believe that we shoudn't criticise the different styles - we should support them. That doesn't mean having to go to the styles we don't like.

We should all in our own little way help to keep the Folk Scene strong and something people want to go to.
