Subject: RE: What makes a new song a folk song?
Bit beneath you to resort to the old 'folk police' bit The real fascists of these argument are those who resort to such garbage in order to suppress or avoid real argument. You want to to prove me wrong - do so with arguments and not shit like 'I'll call my songs what I want'. As for 'it doesn't matter because he does't live in England' - I thought Keith was on holiday? Tsk, tsk - a sad disappointment " they sing it or hear it in a folk club." Infantile at it gets - I first hard Pete Seeger at The Philharmonic Hall in Liverpool - classical music, no doubt Last Year I watched some of Ireland's finest traditional singers and musicians in the Abbey Theatre in Dublin - all performing plays, no doubt.
