Subject: RE: M. Carthy on The Critics Group - Radio 4
I attended a weekend workshop run by Ewan and Peggy ... more years ago now than I care to remember. They presented an approach to the singing of folk songs based upon their knowledge of traditional song, voice production techniques, ideas about performance gained from Ewan's theatrical background, Peggy's ideas about accompaniment etc., etc., etc. I don't recall any "should" element.
I have to say, though, that it was all very interesting and stimulating and it was an important formative experience for me.
