Thread Name: English folk is 'world music'?
Subject: RE: English folk is 'world music'?
fRoots described English music as 'the last undiscovered outpost of world music' back in the 90s, and it was a comment made with tongue very firmly in cheek then, so this isn't a new development on their part.

(b) stuck records grinding anti-fRoots axes
(c) repulsive little-Ingerlander nationalism
