Ian Fyvie Folk- how do you relate to 'it'? (56* d) RE: Folk- how do you relate to 'it'? 24 Jul 11


Borchester Echo would bin the word "folk'?

In one breath I agree, having problems with what the music industry markets as folk.

But refined definitions should surely com from below. Perhaps too many of us are waiting for some white bearded folkie in the sky to give us these new definitions.

Take the example of the word 'singaround' which, as I've written on before, originated in a local session organiser (Fred Baxter of Lewes) deciding to call his weekly get together something which marked it out from the numerous 'standard' folk clubs operating in the 1970's . It;s taken off globally. Time, once again, for some fresh thought!

A new thread somreone?
