Dave the Gnome Hope for folk music - Jon Doran! (262* d) RE: Hope for folk music - Jon Doran! 22 May 20


Ah, ok. Thanks Nick. I was wrong about the change 120 years ago then but surely there was a big change in the first revival 60 years ago. That was when the revival put folk music into clubs and the whole folk scene as we now discuss it was born. In England anyway. So, folk clubs are a recent construct. Folk music was going for millennia before them and will continue long after. Those of us who have grown up with them and helped to nurture that scene will, understandably, mourn its passing. But the music is the important thing and it is youngsters like Jon who will have the ideas of how best to keep it alive. They are the hope for the future.
