Leadbottom: How is that issue relevant? Or is it?

Trousers first... then boots. ie: Doesn't matter if it's a 30 fortnight cycle of furlongs per firkin, these questions needed answering for yourself before your 'data' were plotted and finding(s) made. You're doing it backwards... or not at all.

I don't think there is an entertainment genre that doesn't have consumers who disdain mainstream media commercial "sell outs" and the like. Genre hipsters take pride in living out on the bleeding edge. They lose interest when the word gets around.

But Woody & Pete's live gig days are long gone and even back when, they had more influence on the English folk scene as recording artists, popular or not so much.
