RobbieWilson Is it really Folk? (105* d) RE: Is it really Folk? 28 Jul 06

I'm not sure why I am joining in this largely sterile discussion. Wikipedia has a fairly clear and concise description of the main uses of folk music. folk music

Like any other use of language the point is to convey meaning. Generally I have always known what people mean from the contextin which they refer to folk music. If you can't work it out and it is important to you then ask the person using the term.

IMO Mock Tudor and indeed all of RT's musicclearly falls into the modern usage of "culturally descended from and influenced by traditional folk music. The world we live in changes and so does the language we use to describe it.
