But it's an objective fact that the singers I mentioned (or any that might be named, including Celtic Woman) haven't deprived us of a single traditional song or performanc QUOTE
just because a performer has not deprived us of a performance, that is not always a plus. if i want to hear singing i want it to be perfomed well, and that is not just a matter of opinion. you seem to be putting forward an argument that tradtional song is better performed than not perfomed. I DO NOT AGREE.
I am not talking about style I do not want to hear any music[ including classical music jazz music traditional music, performed if it is going to be sung out of tune., so your argument is flawed.
Martin Carthy said that the only way you cam harm tradtional songs is by not singing them, absolute bollcks.
