Still trying to work out where SS gets his 'we traddies' reference
Traddie my arseum!


For 35 years I've delighted in Traditional Song as a both a singer and listener - and if I listen to Traditional Song, then it will be invariably sung by a Traditional Singer, unless I'm in a singaround when it will be sung by a Singer of Traditional Songs, such as myself. Thus do I call myself a Traddy. What's the problem? It's what I do. Sure it's not all I do, but such are the joys of cultural pluralism.
