just listening to it in the next room.

3.15 in the morning. Either folk music starts producing something that every radio station has to take seriously - or we accept that we have a place securing a nice living for a few subsidised middle class kids. and a lot of frustrated other ranks. nothing much else.

the question Richard bridge poses in his latest thread - which tradition, the same question that SOH pose in their song Roots - has an answer, but its not one that you will like.

A music teacher once said to me - throw a stick in a roomful of music teachers and you will hit half a dozen would be organ masters of Yorkminster. we are headed in the same direction. Just athere is no great apetite for listening to church music - there is not much mileage in this stuff.

either we start producing something a bit more memorable with a bit more to say (politically and artistically) or we ARE SCREWED. the bosses have got it wrong.
