Thread Name: UK attitudes to folk music
Subject: RE: UK attitudes to folk music
There's a lovely piece in the Guardian today. The reviewer had to go to a concert at which a surprise replacement was Coope Boyes and Simpson. They knocked him over! He thought they were great, wonderful, marvellous...but he couldn't bring himself to say that this was folk music, that you could see/hear them in a club near you. He eventually came out with "post-modern folk music".

Be interesting to hear what Lester has to say when he reads that.
