Thread Name: What is the future of folk music?
Subject: RE: What is the future of folk music?
"Do you think we just toss out albums in between spraying graffiti on the walls of Cecil Sharp House and urinating on the grave of Sam Larner?"

Following RuthA's post on the Pogue's being an inspiring influence for her, maybe folk could do with a virulent dose of latter-day punk spirit?

I think young folk artists find themselves suspended in limbo. And have to ask themselves "Who am I trying to please?"
Punk of by contrast, never asked that question.

When I'm an old git I'll have writ on my headstone: "Feel free to piss on my grave, if it inspires you!"
