"Yet you seem to feel justified in laying into the present revival in Britain and everyone involved in it. What was that about double standards?"

Present revival in Britain?....what revival would that be then.

Playing "traditional" instruments does not equate to a folk revival.
The young groups I hear play something that falls between the genres, soulless noise. Impossible the dance to and with no emotional content.

All searching for a sound to sell their CD.
Is there a name for this new genre? It's certainly not folk music.
