New Thread of Worms Alert!

From what I have been reading here and what makes sense is that folk tradition is a constantly morphing animal.

If everything had to be done in it's original state there would be no folk. Because (duh) everything was passed down orally and (thank gods) imperfectly through generations and across cultures.

That club manager sounds like an idiot. If people appreciate your tunes during sessions, start chatting to regulars about where and how to promote your act and how to get gigs.

Good luck
