Thread Name: The new face of folk
Subject: RE: The new face of folk
This thread combines a theme which runs through many others in Mudcat.
Don't believe everything you read.
Whether you like it or , from the Folk Awards to Martin and his invaluable contribution to all English-spoken Folk Music(including his Wife and daughter)the genre of Folk music, albeit a poor cousin, is inextricably part of Show Biz . You might not like that thought, but they all want to be loved, well-known and successful performers.
I understand that, and publicity in all its forms assists the wheel to turn.
The Article is just part of the same scenario.
