Musical Traditions magazine (found at www.mustrad.org) is an excellent site with a solid policy. It is credible enough to have been offered archiving by the British Library.
Its editor, Rod Stradling, has often stated his policy of concentrating on older performers and unbroken traditions from around the world and although I personally think that he misses a few opportunities, he has a stated policy and sticks to it.
If people don't like the policy, they can click their mouse pointer somewhere where they are getting a better deal. No problem.
On the subject of Fred McCormick and performing, I can say that Fred appeared at Ryburn Folk Club some years ago with Sean MacNamara and between them they gave us one of the memorable nights in our history. Never mind the width - feel the quality.
