"What am I missing?"
I am referring to the club scene in England as depicted here
Traditional song still has a life and relevance outside those clubs - see above - it is the clubs who declared UDI, not the music
There has never been so much good traditional music freely agvailable to those who hare to dip their toes - not in my time
If Irish youngsters can be drawn to the music I have no doubt whatever that English kids can
People like Iain's would destroy any chances of that ever happening by reading the last rites over a living and very relevant entity.
I'm delighted he has said what he has - his personal dislike speaks for others - here and elsewhere
What did someone say about "boring old farts"?
