Subject: RE: Folklore: The Imagined Village
I much enjoy the Imagined Village 'band' and they are clearly taking the old songs and using instruments and genre that can be found in England today to explore themes that are present in old songs.

I don't understand how the book 'The Imagined Village' relates to the 'band' of the same name. Is the 'band' a post-revival, ironic comment on what the Sharp/EFDSS think folk song might be?
