To my way of thinking it is very much folk music created by the people travelling through, even the Balkan influences are there. It seems to be getting very popular here in Bristol as a dead cert crowd puller the last venue I went to was to see the band Fuzia last November who had everyone on their feet and dancing shoulder to shoulder. It didn't start until after 9 pm and for a moment I thought the I had made a big mistake but I was wrong. The whole gig went on until 1.30 - 2.00 am and what made it even better the admission was free, yes I call that folk.
