Interesting thread, some real emotion from some posters on a subject which is close to our hearts. Having listened to the radio show i was struck by the craft and maturity of the performers, including Megan and Joe. To me,and no i don't know her' Megan sounded great and i think she, and her brother, are clearly a bit of a find and in that way they are an exciting choice because they have a 'crossover' sound,elements of folk, (story telling,english perspective) of pop ( accessable songs)and jazz. No of course its not trad. roots folk but it sits perfectly well, for me, within a broader folk music spectrum. I also love and value our traditional folk music forms but interesting and challenging crossover's have a place within the genre as well.
