Pip - what I am saying is that "folk music" does not give enough of a description to know that he is playing only British Tradition.   

Yes, it is indeed folk music - but that doesn't tell me everything - not that I am expecting a full description from two words like "folk music". Many of the posts in this thread seem to indicate that simply saying "folk music" is enough of a description. My arguement against the need for labels is that they only pigeonhole, and they are not inclusive of modern acceptance.
