lol... Cheers Soldier Boy :D

I think folk is the most diverse genre on the planet and crosses over to so many genres. In fact almost every genre on the planet has roots to folk music.

I really think that reggae songs have a very close relation with traditional folk songs such as Peter Tosh performing 'Stop the Train' and Marley, Tosh and Wailer performing 'Keep on Moving'.

But that's just my opinion :)

Thanks for that Neil... that's quality, Peter Gabriel loves folk - he sings on the 'Rise Above' and 'When I'm Falling' tracks with Afrocelts doesn't he?
