Why is it that some mudcatters seem to think music can't fit into the genre 'folk' if it is successful and people are actually making money out of it? Sounds a bit like sour grapes to me. Social comment has always been at the heart of 'folk' songs and SoH perpetuate this in a modern style, appreciated by a huge following of young (and not so young)people as can be seen at their festival appearances. We can't have it both ways - either we accept new ways of doing folk or we watch the whole tradition disappear.
