Each to their own. Can't say the current trend for winsome female singers breathing into a microphone does much for me, but I'm from the school of robust folk; which I'm sure makes some who like the stuff I don't like cringe. Folk music is a broad church. It carries on its own sweet way and every so often someone else discovers it and we're fleetingly popular again. Does anyone really care?

Jools at least gives an airing to different types of music - I've seen Bellowhead, Martin Carthy and the Imagined Village on his show among others.
