Thread Name: Where are the voices?
Subject: Where are the voices?
No, it isn't a religious or spiritualist thread.

There are a number of posts here I've seen expressing disappointment at the breathy, "head", infantile voices used by many current or "new" folk singers (by which I mean in this context English folk singers). There are some exceptions, but I'm intentionally keeping names out of this.

It occurs to me that (again with some exceptions) that many current young male English folk singers cound be tarred with the same brush.

Whence and why this fashion?
