I guess, kind of like Nutty, I don't write songs, they sort of gradually appear (on the whole). I perform my stuff to a part of the pagan community here in England, so it's quite a specialist market. I call it folk music because that's the style of music in which my heart lies, and because I hope my stuff makes observations about things and records a little subjective history (a role I believe folk music plays).

THere is a market for folk music outside the Mudcat. There are lots of markets. It's just most of them won't make you rich. But I guess that keeps the music coming from the heart of musicians, rather than the bank accounts of P.R. men.
