Thread Name: 1954 and All That - defining folk music
Subject: RE: 1954 and All That - defining folk music
Sorry to all, especially to the players in Bellowhead, and those who think I have offended them. That was certainly not my intention. I was not meaning to suggest that they they were only concerned with money, nor that it was even necessarily that important to them. I was simply meaning that they will consider factors - such as the entire visual impression - that simply don't apply to such as me who almost never sing in public. Being professionals they will present such things in a way that is as appealing as possible, and factors like this - lighting, backdrops and so on - are influenced by the current fashion.


Again, apologies if I phrased things in an offensive way.
