Lizzie you equate valuing with monetary worth. I value folk music but know given its limited appeal its monetary worth is by and large low. If it was money I valued I would do what a friend of mine does which is join a four piece covers, band play the same "pop"songs night after night in clubs up and down the country, and get between £1000 - £ 1500 a night. No thanks I have different values which do not demand money to be satisfied.
