Because my kids have grown up in the folk scene and most of the kids I know well are the children of folkie friends, it's hard for me to say...they love lots of it. My son (aged 16) is very keen on the comedy-type folk song....music Hall and that sort of thing. This last year or so he has made a bit of a name for himself at school for singing on request and, while the kids laughed at him to start with, they are all now learning the songs and will sing along with him. They seem to like the good easy chorus ones to join in to.

My 11 year old daughter has a leaning towards the sad and even macabre. She sings "The Unquiet Grave" which usually goes down well, though she's only sung it to other folk-kids.

Try asking some kids of the right age who are already into folk what they like

Love Lynne
