Richard Bridge is a perfect example of what I am talking about. He is as devoted a follower of traditional folk music as you will ever find, yet, spend some time with him, and you WILL hear some very feisty, and enthusiastic renditions of hardline 60s Rock.

I think that's true of a lot of us actually. I'm into all sorts and everything and yet remain proud to be a Traddie; it's what I do in folk clubs & what keeps me going - to hear & sing traditional songs sung by other traddies, each of whom will have other things going on in their lives other than Tradition Folk Song. Hey, besides - Peter Bellamy called himself a Traddy (as in Boring Bleating Old...) so that's good enough for me. And a whole lot better than being a mere Folkie...
