"Re-form Edward II"

They have! Can't wait to see them.

Quite agree with what you're saying here, Lizzie. Contemporary folk song writers (which is, of course, what they are) are bringing an up-to-date perspective to the issues that have always been represented in folk music and also a modern interpretation to events that took place in the past. For example, of course, Reg Meuross's "...and Jeusu Wept", which is a song and an issue you have rightly championed.
