Subject: RE: uk folk clubs high standard
sorry- wrong button-= as I was saying, it cannot be a surprise that people living in the world of 2019 are writing songs in the traditional style but about modern topics like ecology, politics etc, and this is surely part of our evolving tradition- we don't know who wrote the material in the preserved folk tradition, but we do today- I don't really see the difference nor what the fuss is about- standards are high, but that too is in the eye of the beholder...
