Nothing wrong withthe pianist but I hate the sound of pianos on folk. It's sooo DRAWING ROOM...

Who's to say it's not an appropriate instrument for folk?

Years ago when everything was perfect, the piano was not unknown among the generation(s) to which the source singers belonged.

Back on topic, I heard Rachel Unthank sing in a local folk club recently, taking her turn round the room, singing a trad song unaccompanied and those U-tube clips really don't do justice to her voice.
