Subject: RE: Young Audiences - Trad Folk V Folk Rock
British folk rock (Wiki entry)
Note sections
Heyday 1969–76
Decline and survival 1977–85
And particularly
Resurgence 1985–present
Which has the final paragraph
This resurgence represents nothing like the heady days of the 1970s. The number, and mainstream recognition, of electric folk groups is lower in the 21st century than it was in the late 20th. However, the genre has not only been highly influential on both rock and folk music, thanks to the remarkable longevity of the key groups and productivity of the members, together with renewed interest in subsequent generations, electric folk continues to survive and artistically thrive.
