Musket What makes a new song a folk song? (1710* d) RE: What makes a new song a folk song? 20 Sep 14


Not to mention Thin Lizzy's Whisky in the Jar or Led Zeppelin's Gallows Pole.

My eldest said recently that in a pub quiz recently they asked who wrote "Whisky in the Jar.". The answer was Phil Lynott. I suppose that is the folk progression. A mate in Dublin swore blind McGowan wrote Dirty old Town.
