Well I absolutely agree with that. I’m not a huge fan of the concept of authenticity in music in the first place. So for example just tonight someone visiting the city was looking for an authentic trad session from me and, for me, all the vital sessions are open to multiple influences from the real interconnected world and the fact is that people have trad musics from everywhere. And this has always been the case. Musicians always want the new thing whether it be a technology or a style or a groove or a scale to spice up life.
