"Something not right there methinks."

It's only 'not right' if you buy the proposed notion that the revival and its musics, are in any way siblings of or even first cousins of, Traditional musics.

I don't buy that notion, and consequently I suffer zero dissapointment, frustration or annoyance at the inevitable disabuse of such a notion for someone (such as JimC) who does buy it.

What I'm happy for is a communal space where I can sing these funny old songs, alongside others who like to play Dylan, Beatles, MaCcoll, McTell, parodies, R&B & so-on.

Having said that, a 'mainly trad.' club, might be very interesting too. But if I want something that focused, then I'll have to organise it.
