Thread Name: popularisation and commercialisation of roots/trad
Subject: RE: popularisation and commercialisation of roots/trad
but my point is not whether i am for it or against it, that is irrelevant it is whether in the process of getting altered it is taken away from its roots, if by popularising roots music we take it way fron its roots have we done a disservice to the music by altering, or by inciting musicians to alter it to make it a hi and make themselves lots of money.
Ellen vannin was written by hughie jones ,so it is not relevant it is a modern composed song
