Having taken my first look at this thread...I start to wonder if all is well with catters or maybe the FOLK world in general?....seems to me that a lot of people are setting themselves up as some kind of 'authority' on Folk music. What qualifications does one neeed to be a Folk critic these days.
I remember the time when all the local farmers and farm labourers gathered in a barn at the end of each week, in harvest season, and sung songs whilst consuming copious amounts of ale...... and all present were expected to sing whether talented or not....haven't things changed...I mean some peoples expectations have changed....sad eh?
