Yeh, but Cecil Sharp's gang of heavies are a focus for all the inequalities and injustices of the present system. So the heavy weight reviews get denied to the great mass of even traditional players, let alone contemporary artists. Blokes like our own Dick Miles.

Meanwhile a reviewer spends an entire column giving Rosie Kemp one star for her album, regretting that that sainted family have for once slipped from grace. Meanwhile some other poor sods lifeswork is lucky to get a mention in the AND THE REST pile.

Basically all this tradition and 'in the tradition' business stinks. Its just a mask for those fine old English traditions of nepotism, favouritism and 'jobs for the boys-ism'.
