Subject: RE: The current state of folk music in UK
I think you are right, Howard. When only traditional singing was available, it was what people listened to. We now have a massive choice and people will gravitate towards their own particular tastes. I have no doubt at all that people still love some traditional singing. I do myself. But given that there is such a massive range of folk music and so little time, we should not limit ourselves exclusively, or even predominantly, to a tiny part of the range. No matter how important some think it is.
