Thread Name: English folk is 'world music'?
Subject: RE: English folk is 'world music'?
Ha! About time, too... of course there were some of us for whom it never went away, and real credit to the people like Keith Kendrick who kept beavering away without fashionable recognition and to the keepers of many many small folk clubs which kept the thread going when televised football and pub closures removed many venues for singarounds. Of course it's world music- and personally I'm delighted to hear melody making a comeback after many years of exaggerated percussion!
