Dick. OK so the marketeers turned it into an inferno then......

This might be unfortunate, but for people to tune into (and start playing) something, they have to hear it first.

I absolutely know that is (promoting & marketing) what Froots and Mr Anderson are doing. What is wrong with tryiing to brng (potentially) good music it to a wider audience? I don't understand your gripe?

I repeat Dick, I had not heard of you (or the other excellent artists you name) until I got really involved in the folk scene and started running a folk club. I struggle to understand how you can claim to have created the new wave of interest..... half of the people on the Froots disc have never even set foot in a folk club, do you really think they are more likely to have heard you or Eliza C and Kate R?
