Subject: RE: Should folk songs be sung in folk clubs?
Hi Jim

Are you trying to suggest that only traditional folk music should be played in folk clubs ???

IMHO there as many great contempory folk songs as traditional ones...the problem is that many "traddies" don't recognise these as folk music.

If you want to listen to trad only you you should form a traditional music only venue and advertise it as such.

Folk music is here to stay.....but not necessarily as you know it.

cheers
