Please accept this at face value - there is no criticism here I have visited the website of the Yorkshire Garland and I have seen the Norcsalordie website. I have seen pictures of the Yorkshire Garland committee and I have seen pictures of Norcsalordie Both of them are to my mind doing sterling work, but if they were to agree on everything I would be worried. Folk music is not dead and it is for the young to take what they find, use it, experiment with it, change it and add to it to create the world of the future. That world will not be the same as this one but folk music will still be there because of the likes of Norcsalordie Did we believe Bob Dylan when he sang The Times They Are A'Changing? And perhaps the Yorkshire Garland committee like the Norcsalordie version? This is also off topic but a thread is just that and not necessarily a straight line
