GUEST, Robert, I've nothing against Rachel and The Winterset, but you really should get out more if you think that the Carthys and the Watersons are all the other folk music that's available! Or that it's all 'finger in the ear or a whiny Norfolk accent'! You've only got to read a lot of what's on Mudcat to find that there is far more to the folk genre than that.

If you're prepared to look and listen, enjoy your voyage of discovery!
