Thread Name: trad singers and their treatment by folk revival
Subject: RE: trad singers and their treatment by folk reviv
2. revivalists are in exactly the same position about accomodation away from home.,AS traditonal singers and some of them are now quite elderly.
This does not make it right. Revivalist are used to the club scene, are by and large well capable of taking care of themselves.
How f****** dare you attempt to compere the two!
Kennedy and Comhaltas (both of which have shat on the tradition from a great height and for which you are an apologist), are part of the revival and have ponced off it from the beginning.

5, I do think it unfair to suggest that we judgethe performance of traditional singers etc etc etc[completely irrelevant to the thread topic]atypical Red Herring.
This is a total about turn from your statements in the past. Make up your mind.
If you want to discuss - fine; if you want to mud-wrestle - sod off to Glastonbury.
You want name - do your own homework.
