Well I had never heard of that before, its Max Bygraves apparently. But I don't think young people were listening to Max Bygraves in 1959, they were listening to Lonnie Donegan, Cliff Richard and Billy Fury. The folk revival took place at a time of development of British music across many genres, it was a time of increased self confidence. And in the 60s, Britain was the place to be. Jimi Hendrix came here, Paul Simon came here, Jackson C. Frank came here. I am not really sure what point you are trying to make Jim, but if its that the folk revival was a reaction against what was happening in the rest of the music industry at the time, I don't agree with it.
