"Crow Sister, in what way do you find folk music is made "pragmatically inaccessible" to you or to other working-class people?"

Off the cuff Howard, err nobody I know, even knows that traditional English song exists at all, so that tends to make it rather inaccesable (compared to say Shakespear for exanple). But then not even my middle-class classical & early music 'snob' friends know about it either, so I guess the niche is even tighter than the one I initially offered.. ;-)
