Well since Sam left I suppose......
OK I think I am starting to get the hang of this now.
So the way of the performing is not important but just a matter of taste.
but.
The song has to be by anon and the tune too.
Both having been changed and altered as they pass throuhg the hands of many and varied performers?
And age is not important because if it is by Anon there is no record of when it came into being.
So what is the difference between a folk song and a traditional fold song?
Can the former be new?
Also does the style of performnce and arrangment make any difference in this case?
Dave I totally agree your on air protaganist did come over a bit dodgy like.
I often wonder at the arrogance of a lot of the producers and spokesment that turn up on that program.
If they were any more set in their way and devious sounding we would probably be allowed to veot for them at the next general election.
They are never ever wrong.
