What I like about pop music, and why I'm still attracted to it, is that in the end it becomes our folk music.

I like the pop music, but I still want to have meaning in my music.

Folk music is music that everyday people can play, and it inspired a lot of people to make their own music. That trailed into making your own pop music, and that's why garage bands started springing up everywhere.

Real folk music long ago went to Nashville and left no known survivors.

My masters are strange folk with very little care for music in them.

My idea of heaven is a place where the Tyne meets the Delta, where folk music meets the blues
