Subject: RE: The current state of folk music in UK
Jim - so singing along and playing instruments whilst listening to recordings,
don't count as participation and learning...???
So recording a performance at home and posting it on youtube
for potentially thousands of other music entusiasts to sing and play along to,
don't count as participation learning...???
Nah.. that's all passive reception and consumption.. innit...!!!???
is it, bollocks...
It's 2019, not 1959, folk clubs could die off overnight and eventuially not be missed,
but folk music will continue to thrive as long as younger generations of folks all around the world
share and communicate, and express themselves freeely on the internet...
