”I don't believe that a club focusing solely on traditional unaccompanied songs would be as successful; any more than would a club focusing solely on 60s folk-style songs, or solely on self-penned songs, or solely on music hall songs, or solely on parodies, etc. etc.

It's the variety that I, and many others, enjoy. And that variety includes, as an intrinsic part, those traditional folk songs which, I agree, it's very important to maintain as a living musical tradition.”

Amen to that, Andy, a thousand Amens.
