Oh Paul, you are a bad boy, mixing up the traditionalists and those new fangled singer songwriters.

Hope you have a fantastic weekend, I'm sure you will, and the KFFC continues to go from strength to strength.

There was some talk earlier in this thread that a new definition of 'folk music' was needed. Firstly, I'd question whether a definition is actually needed at all, but if I'm ever pushed, I simply define Folk as 'the music of the people'

However, if people are going to create a new definition, then they should remember that the persons unkown who wrote the likes of Lucy Wan and Lovely Joan, presumably created the songs to sing them and where therefore singer songwriters, and although their songs would have been delivered very differenty to today, the principal is exactly the same.
