Thread Name: Appealing to the 'young people'
Subject: RE: Appealing to the 'young people'
The point I'm trying to make is that if it's good it will sustain. Which is more-or-less what Dave P said earlier. However, I'm with Diane Easby, though, in my disgust at the prevalence of 'just good enough' mediocrity in the folk world (speaking, in my case, as an outsider). This isn't just about music. It's about presentation and the whole works. I've lost count of the number of times I've bought a great album in a sleeve so shite that if I was browsing the racks I'd bypass it on principle, assuming - wrongly, as it happens - that if so little attention had been paid to the packaging, the same must be true of the contents.

Cheers

Nigel
