your lyrics and voice (which I quite like) are E. trad, but your accompaniment is not, and you delight in the fact that elements of foreign cultures are practised much more here now than our own English ones...so, if you are a trady, you're a strange one.

There's your error in a nutshell, WAV. IB may delight in eating Big Macs on Cecil Sharp's grave while listening to Britney Spears for all I care - what makes him a 'traddie' is that he learns and performs traditional material. Judge him - and yourself - on musical grounds and you may, perhaps, feel slightly less entitled to pass judgment.
