What I actually wrote was that Bellowhead and Bodega were 'bang up-to-date bands playing mainly trad music rooted firmly in their respective English and Scottish traditions'.

As any fule (probably even Declan) kno, 'contemporary' has a specific meaning in the field of what is (extremely) loosely termed 'f*lk', namely that it is recently composed of known authorship, is usually performed in strangulated fashion by callow youths playing acoustic guitars in their bedrooms and has as little relevance to traditional music as McRubbish has to food.
