Spot on once again Lizzie. So why suggest 'Occupying' English Folk Music (and presumably killing off traditional music)? Why suggest that this music is better, or more like 'folk' music than the music I like? Why start countless arguments just to justify why you believe that 'your' music is better than 'mine'?

I fully understand that you do not like 47 verses of the famous flower of serving man. But that famous flower has never, in my experience, stopped anyone from plugging a guitar in, singing what the hell they like or playing the Bolivian nose flute.

I am quite happy with this thread. Yes, this is to many people, Folk music. I enjoyed it but I am not going to get involved in labelling anything. But why do you want to start threads like 'Occupy English Folk' or any of the countelss other controversial titles we see?

By all means beat the drum (Indian or otherwise) for the music you are currently into. But in heavens name don't shove it up peoples noses and expect them not to sneeze. Very loudly! There is room here for all viewpoints. But extemists, of any nature, which I am afraid you come across as, should be viewed with extreme caution.
