Barry Finn Festival booking only trad folk???? (25) RE: Festival booking only trad folk???? 15 Jul 09


The Boston Folk Festival started out with a mix of singer songwriters, traditional & contemporary folk. The last festival (2 yrs ago) there was no folk, just singer songwriters. This yr maybe 2 of the maybe 20 performers cold make it into a loose fitting genre of folk. The rest singer songwriter/accoustic. yet they still call it a folk festival. The radio station that presents the festival used to be a folk station yrs back but now they host the same as what they air yet they no longer describe their programing as folk (that changed recently). They should do the same & drop the folk from the festival's name. It's a shame cuz while the festival hosted actual folk it did alright but as a singer songerwriter festival they had to skip last yr. We'll see how they fair this yr but I won't be there to tell.
