The clue is in the name of the festival Bedale ACOUSTIC Music Festival.

I've no problem with all sorts of music and still listen to plenty of stuff a long way from Folk (and definitely not acoustic). There's good stuff everywhere. I don't necessarily have a problem with folk songs played on electronica or anything else....... as long as it's good (or I like it!).

The ethos of this festival is ACOUSTIC though.

Be odd to include electronic (or even electric) music wouldn't it?
