The Sandman What makes a new song a folk song? (1710* d) RE: What makes a new song a folk song? 12 Sep 14


so there are some new songs that are folk songs that would not be sung in folk clubs but might be sung at football matches , fields of athenry, the wheel barrow song,the red red robin keeps bobbing along
then we have our old friend the wild rover, a very good folk song, that is not sung in folk clubs because folk club goers think it is hackneyed, strange because it is the one song that people outside the folk scene recognise as a folk song yet folk afficinados turn their nose at.
