I think we came to a conclusion about the term some time back JohnnyJ. To save you trawling through, here is the summary for Steve Gardham.

The movement is against using the term 'contemporary folk song': Jim suggests, 'contemporary songs using folk forms and functions' which is a mouthful even if it is a good description. If they are contemporary songs using Jim's description why can we not use for shorthand 'contemporary folk songs'? If not then it still needs a short phrase that can be trotted out.
