Yes, all music certainly is essentially folk.
I remember a few years ago down in our West Country when I was in a pub and the old boys from the village came in with their squeeze boxes and fiddles.
They quickly launched into a spirited arrangement of Varese "Ionisations". Then, as the cider flowed and the spirit became more free, a mesmerising segue followed, Carter into Berio, Berio into Webern, Webern into Cage ending with a slightly drunk rendition of Boulez "Pli Selon Pli".
Of course by this time the whole pub was dancing and singing along. What a summer that was!
