JC - "Folk 'purists' are no different from those who, when they see a concert of chamber music advertised, expect to enjoy an evening of - well, chamber music, and if they are given a selection of 'Songs from the Shows', or 'A Night of Easy Listening' go home more than a little pissed off."

Yes, I agree. As I said, no harm there. I'm not really interested in arguing over labels - Folk Purists was the first thing that came into my head. Funnily enough, everyone seemed to know what I meant - I can see why the labels can be divisive and fun to pick over, of course... Curious though, what term would you use, for one who'd prefer his or her folk music unadulterated by outside influences from say, the last 50 years?

Cue uproarious & hilarious answers of Dull / Blinkered, etc - but those aside - I'm curious if there's a term you'd use? Not putting you in that bracket, not knowing you from Adam.
