Look - contemporary chaps.

Nothing wrong with contemporary music. But it isn't folk music. Why can't you get it through your heads that if I say it isn't folk music, I am not denigrating it. I am merely saying it isn't folk music.

You may be creating a new and valid community singing programme - but it isn't folk music. Saying it is is what makes folk music disappear. There is so much other stuff being called folk music that folk music disappears.
