" If this continues to rage, perhaps they'll disappear off to Count Arthur Strong and let us "folkies" fight it out to our own demise."

Well if it's Mumfords and Marling taking up the banner as the "new blood", one can only hope that the 'folk revival' will do the decent thing and give up it's last gasp along with the baby boomers who breathed it's first (a group for whom I might add, I have nothing but the greatest affection and respect even whilst they're getting the words wrong and singing too slowly). As I said above< I'd exhort 'young people' to make their own music, leave the folk scene alone, especially if your going to try to "improve" it with such scarily Stepford Wives fare as endorsed above!
