I read the comment about 'What is Folk Music' with interest, and agree with the poster....However, the reason for it's inclusion on the UK Folk Music index page is - it's one of the most popular Google Search keyword terms, and likely to lead people to the UK Folk Music website.

Keywords are very important in achieving high ranking and results in Google the term was included with the sole intention of appealing to people using it in Google Search.

Hope that explains why it's used...
