Subject: RE: 1954 and All That - defining folk music
The lighting rig on the youtube footage I flagged up was at Shepley festival. It was the same one for every artist, in a freezing tent - the audience had thermals and coats. Rock and roll, it wasn't.
There were performers in the traditional, singer-songwriters, bands, duets and solo. There was music that ripped your heart out, stamped on it and threw away the left-overs and with Bellowhead, stuff that made you want to do a hornpipe.

Keeping Bellowhead on the road must be a labour of love. I shall look forward to seeing them at Holmfirth.
