Subject: RE: Moulettes – not folk say gatekeepers
if you're gonna jump on a band-wagon you need to be sure that it's going the way you want. There are 100's of rapper dancers out there who are not going to change the name just because most people think that rapper is a form of hip-hop ( believe me, I advertised our longsword and rapper team as a sword dance side and people just didn't seem to see the word sword). Similarly we who have been thinking that what we like is folk and is broadly represented by people as diverse as the Yetties and Oysterband and have been doing so for the last 50 years aren't going to be persuaded to relinquish our usage of the name easily.
