Not sure where a nod to tradition comes from. We are led to believe it was diddycoys sat at the end of the caravan with locals from the village sat cross legged listening to songs about a Bonny black hare, cuckoos nest and all the other porn of the day.

There are some beautiful songs that have come up through traditional roots and some fine songs written since. If "a nod to the tradition" means anything, what does it mean?

Does it mean complaining about or celebrating your work? Shagging wenches? Gazing at waves on the shore? Does it mean a vocal technique? Using instruments that look traditional but are a modern interpretation anyway? Does it mean anything unaccompanied?

I don't know what folk is any more than anyone else trying to quantify an abstract genre, but I know which genre to click on to find June Tabor albums.
