A really good mix is needed, I feel and there are certainly old and new singers and singer-songwriters of exceptional ability
It is one strand of "moving forward" within the living tradition
Hold on to the good bits of the tradition and build upon it in the traditional style e.g John Conolly, Hissyfit, Dave and JUlie Evardson, Anna Shannon, Geoff Lawes,
Ed Rennie, Ruth and Sadie, The ASkews,and shanty man extraordinaire Jim Mageean
Good to see the "traditional" singers and musicians too!
