Subject: RE: UK Folk Revival 2018
"Modern" folk music, as portrayed on the media and influenced by the academies is not an inclusive genre. It bears no relation to the stuff being produced by the "pop folkies" of the sixties, at least their output could be related to traditional music and did steer listeners towards it.
The cacophony produced by the folk/orchestral ensembles speaks only to the producers themselves and a tiny group of mindless followers.
