Yeh maybe you're right. If folk music is what you guys insist it is, then perhaps I don't like it.

Trouble is with your argument....it not in my hands. Most of the folk djs are fervently traddy as are the half dozen folk journos. And yet somehow the whole movement is juddering and has been for the last 20 years at least. I've been trying to suggest its the generally snotty interface with humanity that lies at the root of your problems - however I can see the seeds of this idea are falling on stoney ground.

And incidentally Richard - lots of people play Faldingworth without using a microphone.

The villan does his best - show some respect.
