Well I've had a few days away, read the thread and I'm convinced. Only stuff that fits the 1954 definition is valid and any other music in clubs or festivals should be heckled off the stage.
If I do notice any young people with a keenness for acoustic music they describe as folk they'll get a piece of my mind. Or I'll argue the toss with a tidal wave of words until they go away, or mad, whichever's sooner.

Thank you for enlightening me gentlemen, I have become one of you.
