Subject: RE: Review: Folk Britannia repeated on BBC4
I'll give you Pete Morton Brian, but what I really meant were the new young ones. There's a lot in the world to be passionate about but I don't hear their voices. As a generalisation it seems young people want a career and they want it now. The generation of writers in the revival wrote because they wanted to write and they had something to say, and thus they found a career that hadn't existed before they came along.There was no career structure in acoustic music/folk music, these writers and singers created it.
