I love the 'traditional' stuff which is why I am into folk music and dance. Surely though folk, by very definition, is a living tradition and for anything to stay alive it must evolve.

We are seeing bonfire night being replaced by haloween but does that make haloween any the worse? Or bonfire night any better? Provided there is some true enjoyment, as opposed to just begging for money, to be gained lets get on with traditional evolution. Lets also enjoy this transitional phase where we can celebrate both events!

After all I am sure we all enjoy the contemporary folk music alongside the Child ballads and appreciate Riverdance as much as Three Jolly Sheepskins.

Or am I on my own in having multiple tastes???

LOL
