Dick Miles said: history being re written,it was not a process started in the nineties by theses artists, most of the artists I mentioned above,were young and doing it in the seventies,and eighties, that is my point.Colin Irwin undoubtedly knows this.

I expect he does. He refers to "Those inspired by the early British folk revival pioneers of the 1950s and '60s to champion the music through the barren years." Which I'd interpret as being the 70's and 80's since he then refers to the 90's. Does he have to namecheck you specifically to avoid "history being re-written"?
