He was so keen on Kate Rusby's stuff that he asked to present present her nomination for the Mercury award a few years ago. Its nice to see someone widening their musical tastes. I think, although they would not call themeselves traditional, far less folk, there is definately an undercurrent of relatively accoustic bands about. I also think that it will not be a revival in the accepted sence but is the byproduct of how things emerge nowadays from many different sources.
