You are quite right of course, Brian. We are no longer young and do not fully understand the current state of young people's music. Any more than someone who has been out of touch with UK folk music can understand the state of that!!

I must say that it heartens me when I go to a concert by Blackheads Tea Party and see so many young people rocking in the aisles. Or hear local schoolkids discussing the latest albums by Granny's Attic and Jon Boden on the bus!
