Subject: RE: Why is folk such a small market?
"I think there is still hope for a wider English revival."
Yeppers, it looks very promising. But from seeing what's happening with the EFDSS and the Folk degree and so-on I think it'll be a different beast to the 60's revival. Hopefully it'll be less romantic and more enduring (ie: it's fortunes less bound up with popular commercial music trends), laying down solid foundations for future 'post revival' generations to gain ready access to, and knowledge of, their folk musical heritage.
