GUEST,North CountryPrimitive	Country music in 1970s UK folk clubs (76* d)	RE: Folklore: Country music in 1970s UK folk clubs	26 Oct 22
I think Tony you make a good point above- you only have to listen to the hillbilly/folk/old timey contributions to Harry Smith’s mighty Anthology of American Folk Music to see where a huge part of the roots of country lie, and there’s not much ‘western’ involved. Meanwhile I could totally get why some pimply youth in the Northampton or Carlisle (say) of 1971 might want to pop down their local folk club trying to emulate the music of Dock Boggs or Roscoe Holcomb.
