Anything that keeps folk music alive must be and is worth doing even if some opinions are that it is biased. Let's face it, people will argue for ever as to what folk music is and what it should be and who is a "true" folk artist and who isn't really folk. There have been hundreds of threads about this on mudcat and no end of discussion and arguement. No-one has defined folk in such away that everyone accepts. I doubt they ever will.
