I don't disagree with you really, in that I'm sure that plenty of folk listeners who dig the Watersons, Steeleye Span or the Folk Roots, New Routes album would enjoy listening to Alasdair Roberts, Nancy Wallace, Meg Baird, the recent folk material by James Yorkston, or Benjamin Wetherill.

But they won't find out much about those particular artists via the traditional folk music media (fRoots mag being a notable exception).

Actually, English Dance & Song has reviewed, favourably, albums by Alasdair Roberts and James Yorkston (and will review the new Ian King album in the next issue), and we reported on the St George's Day concert featuring some of the new singers that were featured (Nancy wallace included) ... and that concert was held and hosted by the EFDSS! I'll get Nancy's CD reviewed as well if someone sends it to me! In fact, I'll go and ask for it myself!
