Steeleye Span made a fortune. ... they'll be pleased to hear that.

Never heard of George Butterworth - but I don't really see how Banks of Green Willow could be made non narrative. It tells a story, doesn't it?

went to a folk club tonight. About half the songs were trad. three of the singers unaccompanied. I don't see what the fuss is about.
