GUEST,Burton Coggles	Should folk songs be sung in folk clubs? (129* d)	RE: Should folk songs be sung in folk clubs?	10 Feb 10
Snail: I'm just going on what seems to be a strongly held opinion by several people on this thread. I've only limited experience of folk clubs myself (2-3 years) so I have no personal experience of how they were in the past. As I've stated above, my preference is for variety. Perhaps what I like shouldn't be called a folk club, I've no problem with that. But I have been introduced to trad songs/tunes through the clubs I've attended, and I probably wouldn't have attended them if they were "policy" traditional only clubs or sessions. FWIW Will Fly's session where the emphasis is on improvisation around the tune (trad or otherwise) sounds excellent - if a bit of singing is OK too! Perhaps I'm better asking if you are of the opinion that trad. songs and tunes have been edged out, why do you think this is so? Pete.
