Interesting...but would you take these peoples estimation for a fact? I think the miners' strike taught us that ordinary people still have things to say in song. I was running a small recording studio in Nottinghamshire at the time, and people were popping in with bits and pieces they had wrote.

Maybe it won't reach the folkclubs for another hundred years. who cares...but those of us with an IQ above room temperature know that you won't kill this process (which is embedded deep in the human soul - the need to create) by wrapping it up in stupid definitions of folk music.
