Re: Bob Davenport

Has no-one heard of the ancient art of folk club heckling? Too many soft southerners amongst the respondents here?!

Re; Pop Songs - It depends if you think the term has any validity outside the semi-academic world of the current folk club/festival environment. Folk is a term used by the semi-academics that dwell there/here and describes whatever they want it to mean. In the world they seek to describe (rather than the one they inhabit)I would say it had no meaning. True some "traditional" singers would distinguish between songs of different heritage but I doubt they used the classification "folk".
