I suppose there's no real reason why not. An obvious example is that a lot if not most of Lancashire's folk-song history is rooted in a massive change in industry and employment.

However, I think folk has an historical context which it's never really allowed to breakout from in some quarters.

I think if the BBC is culturally anything I think it's London-centric first and foremost.
