I agree, 'Some bloke', there is a lot of terrific music being made right now by young artists, especially on the instrumental side (I still tend to prefer singers of the older generation though).

However, though I use Youtube both for discovery and self-promotion, but it's no substitute for live music. Young people may not want to sit in folk clubs these days, but they do still want to get out there and share music and song in the flesh.

I'd have said that, since Cecil Sharp collected a pile of tunes and became well-acquainted with the anglo concertina for Headington Morris, I doubt if he'd have been at all surprised or discomforted to hear a melodeon accompanying morris dancing.

Lastly, I loved Steeleye Span's electric arrangement of 'The Handweaver and the Factory Maid' when it came out 45 years ago, but nowadays folk-rock itself is pretty old hat and I'd rather hear something different done with the song. Maybe even an unaccompanied version.
