"Jim, Flamenco is folk music. It comes from the Andulusian"
Am aware of that Stringsinger - I was assuming that the question was about English singing.
My comment was based on my opinion that far too much stress is put on guitar accompaniment, which IMO, is given far more attention than it merits.
If all the guitars were to disappear overnight I have little doubt that singers would manage quite well without them and find a suitable substitute, were one considered necessary - nothing as beautiful as the unadorned human voice when well used as far as I'm concerned.
