Subject: RE: Fashionable Folk
Went to A folk Music conference in Sept hosted by the Trad Arts Team in Birmingham and the EFSDS or is it EFDSS? Anyway figures from a Survey by Trad Arts showed interest in 'Folk Music' has had it's biggest surge since the 60's over the past 3 years. Does that make it fashionable? I prefer to think youngsters are beginning to se behind the falseness and fakery of the X-Fctor illusion, and are returning to real music and instruments. And history shows Folk Music gets more popular in recessions, perhaps as much of it is free
