Subject: RE: It isn't 'Folk', but what is it we do?
Dick, I programmed a diversity of local and up-and-coming artists alongside big names. They represented a whole range of folk styles, from very traditional musicians to singer/songwriters. People who wouldn't have paid to see artists they've never heard of still got to hear those artists because of the bill they were on, and may go on to buy their CDs and support their careers in future.
But I guess I'm promoting pop folk music if that's what you're telling me I'm doing.
