"any sort of folk music is getting covered in the mainstream press is a good thing"

You must be joking, of course, sunshine? I agree with Diane Easby on this one, you remark DOES smack suspiciously of the "any old crap is good enough for folk"..and if I'd have known you'd not even listened to RU and The Winterset(which I've, at least, made the effort to do)I wouldn't have bothered engaging you in this..ummmmmmm, debate?
