Thread Name: 'Occupy English Folk Music!'
Subject: RE: 'Occupy English Folk Music!'
Quote from Roy Harper interview in The Times today:-

'Harper does however, see himself as part of an English tradition, and he wishes he were more accepted in tradtional folk circles. "I'm English. I write about things that have happened in England, and I began writing when England was coming out of the insular post-war culture," he says. "I wouldn't have minded some of my songs being included as part of the folk tradition, but the people in the folk world see me as a cabaret artist. That's sad, but not life threatening." '

You see Folkiedave - not just Lizzie and my paranoid delusions.

This is how it fell out on Friday morning -oh!
