I've got the radio tuned to Radio 4 most of the day as I potter around the house and I'm always hearing snippets of "folk" music in the natural flow of things, often just as a background to non-obviously music related items.

Good Lord, does this mean that it's somehow natural and we have a "living tradition" that doesn't just need a "specialist" hour or two.

That'll upset the museum piece re-creationalists out there.
