Thread Name: Does it matter what music is called?
Subject: RE: Does it matter what music is called?
Whatever you wish to call it, there's a fundamental difference between what one hears at most "folk" festivals and what one hears from more traditional singers. And that's why, despite the spate of Folk Festivals in the US, I'm going to travel some 3000+ miles to go to Whitby Week (which doesn't even call itself a folk festival) to listen to the kind of music I like to listen to.
