Thread Name: Songs you shouldn't sing in UK folk club
Subject: RE: Songs you shouldn't sing in UK folk club
Something is puzzling me here.
Last night as I listened to the abovementioned Jackie Oates on Folkwaves singing "Fair Flower of Northumberland" a song that I and numerous others have known and been singing for over forty years; however since she has recorded FFON (and I didn't know she had done until last night) does this make it "her song" and even though I have been singing it long before she was born, should she ever be booked at our club do I avoid it like the plague?
Just wondering?
