Folks can moan as much as they like,
but British trad folk compares weakly to more enjoyable American and European equivalents...

Hence the popularity of more musically adventurous world 'folk' festivals...

To some Brit mudcatters, the music isn't even that essential,
they seem to regard trad folk as just a slightly more highly evolved form
of story telling and poetry...???

That's not good enough for most folks who like to enjoy folk music...

..and the Brit Trad songs that actually have good melodies
have been so sung to death over the last 65 years,
a lot of us of sick of hearing them yet again..
even if they have been spiced up with loud guitars or electro beats...


there I'm awake again, best sleep I've had all summer..
unfortunately at the wrong time of day... bugger.. never made it to the post office..
