I just came across this very apt quote from Eliza Carthy, it sums it all up perfectly for me.


"When I was younger I was much more of a missionary, much more of a zealot. Now I'm not so into ghettoising English Traditional Music. It's important for it to be a part of the whole world. It's like I'm saying 'Here's what I do, now what of it?' I like the idea of English traditional music being out in the world. God knows, there's much more obscure music out there. Why can't we be where they are?"
