I recently had a discussion / argument with a non-folkie about why folk music did not have a broader appeal with the public at large. He made the point that most folk music was rural and had no relevance to the modern town living person. As an example – he asked what folk songs mention a mobile phone – most people have a mobile but folk music has yet to move with the times and recognise this. Is there anyone out there who can arm me with a song which mentions a 'mobile phone' so that I can prove him wrong?
