no use getting steamed up Will. people are only telling it as it is, and as its been brewing up since the traddies opened up hostilities - back in the1970's. you're gonna reap what you sow.....and they were dismissive of real English folk talent, because it didn't fit their bloody silly understanding of the phenomenon of folk music.

Sunjay Brayne I know very well. His Dad was on old folkie - thus he has measureless respect for the old guard.

but guys like Gaz Brookfield - they're just ignoring the old guard. the whole shooting match - the festivals, the awards, the old clubs - but his gig last month in Dorchester was standing room only. His albums bristle with originality.
