Thread Name: Should folk songs be sung in folk clubs?
Subject: RE: Should folk songs be sung in folk clubs?
Well in my pub session 31 Jan we had the following trad songs at least and I am thinking a number of others too that the beer has occluded
Patrick Spens Gentlemen of High Renown Over the Hills and Far Away The Mermaid (and some others from the same singer that I disremember the names of) Alison Grimes Fine Flowers in the Valley several shanties a batch of American traditional As Sylvie went walking Cold Windy Haily Night The Grey Cock (Burns' arrangement with later chorus) At least one Irish rebel song done mainly to wind me up Ramble Away
So I think that a fair bit of folk song is still getting sung.
