Barry Dransfield doesn't necessarily have a better understanding of what "folk music" is than do the rest of us. Age and attitude aren't quite the point; but let's not get too involved in all that just now. I'm with Greg on that one.

I actually turned down the offer of a review copy of Nollaig's cd because I didn't have the space available to do it justice (though I did print a brief notice). It was the honourable thing to do, but it hurt. I do like her playing very much. The quote is neat and clever, but begs as many questions as it answers.
