Subject: RE: 1954 and All That - defining folk music
"MacColl didn't just sit back and say "It's there in the museums if anyone wants it." Nor did he knock on people's doors delivering what he had to offer - he expected people to emerge from their shells and make the effort. MacColl helped to organise a folk club, which he and others publicised in Melody Maker.,to my way of thinking he made a positive attempt to get people interested,he didnt just expect people to seek it out for themselves.
