To which we could add a hundred more names of our favourite Revival Singers, of whom tell us more about the Conceits and Affections of The Revival than the aesthetics of The Tradition on which they (supposedly) model themselves. To early Revivalists this Folk Style wasn't a consideration - look at the jolly young Ladies & Gentlemen of the EFDSS back in the 1920s HERE - from 2.30 you'll hear them singing very much in their Upper Class Received Pronunciation, wheras later performers (many from the same class) affected more rustic tones by way of greater authenticity / conceit / contrivance. I dare say such singers as Jack Langstaff and John Jacob Niles had quite an impact on later revival singers in terms of repertoire if not approach; and whilst one might ponder the full extent of this impact, one must also bear in mind that The Revival is founded as much on Faith than Fact, which, again, tells us nothing about the true nature of The Tradition no matter how any given singer chooses to sing a song. Indeed, there is greater truth in any singer of whatever class singing in their own voice, than mimicking a rustic one, or, worse still, copying a traditional singer.
