OK.

Is MOR pop not English then? I thought it was a truly English phenomenon. Well, maybe US phenomenon perfected by the English:-) If it is then Kate R (and Katie Melua and Amy Winehouse and any number of new female snigers) is a perfect example of English music. Not the type that you and I like admitedly but English music all the same.

What about when new-agey stuff does come good? Say The Incredible String Band? Or the sniger-snoggery of Richard Thompson? Can we not claim that as folk either? Must say I can't think of a wifty-wafty example. But then again I have only come on the 'puter coz I'm getting scared of Resident Evil on Film 4!

In case I am killed by a zombie I admit that the last bit was just a cheap soundbite I could not resist:-)

Cheers
