as there seems to be a lot of controversy about what is folksong, perhaps it would be best if you gave us a list of the songs you consider to be a folksong and we we will promise to put one or two in if we see you in the audience.

whether you like it or not, the tradition is changing. my instrumental influences were the blues project guys - van ronk, koerner etc; stefan grossman; derek brimstone; paul downes; wizz jones; mctell. stylistically if not substantially -everything I do is folk -it not rock or blues or jazz -its folk.

I can't change the march of history for you, but I promise to try and accommodate you.
