GUEST,eoin o'buadhaigh	I Wrote that Traditional Song (71* d)	RE: I Wrote that Traditional Song	14 Aug 02
What about the newly composed ballad competition at the fleadhs? I have attended fleadhs as far back as the early 70's and know folk who have composed ballads and entered them only to hear them being sung at clubs years later and beng claimed by the artists. The same thing happened to myself but I questioned the artist who claimed my song and he came clean. It has bound to have happened to lots of songwriters without them knowing about it. As for entering in the fleadhs as I mentioned above - how can one protect or prove that the song is theirs? slan Eoin
