I consider them all part of the folk scene and most of them do traditonal songs (or at least songs that deal with hsitoical issues).
I am not ducking the issue. I am genuinly confused about who of those are classed as folk and those classed as Traditional.
Until I started my folk club about 5 years ago I hadn't been in the folk scene as such for nigh on 30 odd years.
All I do see is a lot of people not able to explain what is what.
Incidentally, it didn't require your you to reply with attitude.

I can only improve my knowledge by listening to what other people tell me.
