Subject: RE: Trad vs. Singer-Songwriters at festivals
Interesting to read this - I went to an interview with Eileen McGann at Whitby (UK) in August this year, and she mentioned the increasing difficulty of getting gigs (even though she sings both trad and her own songs) and the tendency of what used to be folk festivals to book acts that are big crowd pullers but not really folk.
