Breezy said, "I think the ref to Traddies was that they can be boring and drive Jo Public away."

I've heard plenty of long, boring intros to contemporary songs. This seems to me to be a very biased attitude. Surprisingly, I am often asked to give more information about my songs.

What I find far worse is when you've got people who request the same songs each week till the singers either have to get stroppy and refuse or they get fed up with singing them. And that can apply to contemporary as well as traditional stuff.
