Hello punkfolkrocker!

Kerfuffle had some very talented individual musicians and a period of popularity. They also had some very early guidance (PTS).

Band members have subsequently gone on to other things both in and out of music

I think that some of these talented musicians have been gifted with their talent and others came from folky families

I do not recognise the "deluge local folk clubs" ~ bit and wish that more would do just that

Folk music is folk music traditional or contemporary and usually

acoustic in essence
Ray (of Barnsley folk club)
