Brakn Traditional? (75* d) RE: Traditional? 15 Feb 10


It's as simple as this.....

I was looking at the wikipedia entry for "Spancil Hill", read the first line ""Spancil Hill" is a traditional Irish folk song" and wondered where such labels come from. Who gives songs such labels and by what rules.

I have never really got into thinking about what is traditional or what is a folk song. A good song is a good song.
