i get gigs without having t9o mention the word folk, that is because i have been playing in folk clubs and festivals for over 46 years and have a track record.
i get gigs in ireland on the strength of my singing.
if someone approached me for a gig at the festival i run and said they do progressive folk with attitude.
I would think it was an entry for Pseuds Corner.
using the term progresive folk with attitude is just a load of bullshit, being progressive is a subjective opinion that is open to debate
dealing with someone who has an attitude is the last thing i want as an organiser, what i want is professionalism, skill, abilty to communicate with an audience and performers who do not create me with problems, as far as i am concerned someone with an attitude can jump of the Ballydehob 12 arch bridge.
