Hi Dave

Is this because traddies are being too picky all the time??

After all it appears to me that it is these people who don't seem to be able to get along with other than their own "brand" of music.

I live in the NW of England and although I don't go to as many folk sessions as I used to, I still pop in and out of them when I can.

Around here we don't seem to have the split between traditional folk and other "folk" . Most of the sessions I go to have all kinds of styles happily existing together.

Speaking only for the UK could this be a North South split ???

cheers
