For the most part over here in UK the Singer/Songwriter and Traddie
people all get along together,with a surprising number of British Singer/songwriters actually writing songs in the traditional idiom.
Bring Us A Barrell is thought by many to be a 'Trad' song which is in fact one of Keith Mardens early efforts.Dave Webber is called a traditional singer,but sings mostly his own songs.Thank God the days are long past when you would not be allowed into some clubs if you played a guitar(NOT Traditional),although concertinas (circa 1841 patent) were permitted.
   And the clubs that are called Traditional still book a lot of Contemporary Singer/Songwriters.
