Subject: RE: Rachel Unthank & The Winterset
I have argued long and hard that quality in folk music is most important and that we have put up with "good enough for folk" as Diane Easby characterises it for far too long.

Whether I like RUATW is irrelevant to that.

I am not a great fan of "Show of Hands" which to some people is real heresy.

I quite like RUATW and have done since they were a duo.

Rachel and Becky have - as far as I am concerned - been brought up as folk people and are not the result of some marketing guru. I cannot speak for the other two.
