Sorry, the phone rang...and I posted the above before I was really ready to.

Here are the links:

The Smirkins

The Imagined Village

And bring on George Papavgeris too. Put ALL of these acts on our MAIN stages at Folk Festivals, stop putting them in small tents, or small rooms out on the edges of town. For goodness sake, let people KNOW, let people HEAR them, SEE them, and take them to their hearts. They are ALL talented musicians from the English Folk World.

Then bring in our amazing Singer Songwriters too, get them performing with our 'traditional' musicians, as Reg Meuross and Martin Carthy did this year at Sidmouth. They were brilliant together, and Reg is writing folk songs of the future...

Get over this prejudice of 'singer songwriters', get over this prejudice of 'the right accent'...

Just let the music evolve naturally, like the world population is doing right at this very moment.

The BNP won't ever stop it, they don't have a hope in hell.

But you have to ensure that 'your world' becomes OUR world, ONE world, because if you don't then you'll get these bastards pouring into 'your world'
