No idea how those who wish to "proscribe" could execute their directive because most places use the term "folk" in its widest terminology.

I help run a folk club and thirty years ago I bet it was mostly what some in here reckon to be their previous interpretation of folk.

Now I joke that I have friends in the room if anyone else turns up and sings a traditional song. But we like many others up and down the land enjoy what the living tradition of folk has turned our music into.

The healthy number of bums on seats infers lots of people know what their folk is. I doubt though that they'd try to proscribe it to others. I'm sure we leave that to those who think proscribing in an evenings entertainment is a good thing. Nowt as queer as folk.
