GUEST,Ex Singer A folk song a year (19) RE: A folk song a year 27 Jan 12


I must agree with Gibb Sahib's sentiments. The whole 'folk song a day' seemed a pointless exercise beyond a well engineered publicity stunt which S&B and of course the whole Bellowhead 'machinery' are very good at. Many of the songs were as you said ... all rather common and not particularly interesting ... but it's possible that the 'yoof of today' are discovering material for the first time, as we all did when we started out? The same can be siad for the B'head repertoire too ... just over arranged noise for people to bop too. It's a pity because there are some very good musicians amongst them ... Paul Sartin, Benji and of course Mr Flood, but for me the song is lost and has become just a vehicle to show off.
