it's the fires of traddy damnation for me now is it?

Why do people keep saying this? Who does this damning? Or are you saying that being told that there's a difference between traditional folk music and contemporary folk music make you feel like you're being put down in some way? Has anyone ever actually said you shouldn't put on whatever music you want to if you're doing the organizing?

You support both traditional folk music and modern folk music and, I presume, everything in between. Good for you! We all owe you our respect and thanks. Inclusion is always better than exclusion. Where do the fires of traddy damnation come into it?
