I don't think we should blame the performers so much as the person who put the bill together. I don't think they were quite sure what they wanted out of it. Individually I am a fan of quite a few of the performers, but the context was all wrong. I love Kathryn Williams, but she should mainly do her own songs, which is her main strength, and they don't really fit in the folk genre. I know I dont keep her CD in my folk section. And June Tabor, I think you need a whole concert of just her in order to really "get" her.
