It's sad that so many people here seem to be preoccupied with what ought to be sung and where and how and by whom.

Last night we went to a wedding disco. We joined in. It was good fun. At the moment a CD is playing of Rolf Harris (daughter bought it for birthday - good fun) Were either Art, or Folk - No.

There is a place for the purist, and the archivist, and the researcher. Equally there is a place for the Hokey Cokey, and the intense angst-ridden singer/songwriter.

I'm with WLD that the performer brings life to a song. It may be that the song is part of a national treasure. Great that someone is making use of that treasure.

And I love Kate Rusby, whose folk credentials are impeccable.
