Subject: RE: Is folk a dirty four-letter word?
What if it goes the other way? Someone who has already made loads of money in pop music then releases some non conformist folky stuff that is different to their musical direction? Eddi Reader for instance with her Robert Burns showcase? Neither Fairground Attraction nor mainstream! Should performers from the pop world be able to switch direction or can pop singers never be acceptable performing folk?
