Thread Name: What makes a new song a folk song?
Subject: RE: What makes a new song a folk song?
Folk clubs play folk music.
It does what it says on the tin.
There is a nudge towards a style that echoes traditional music, and many of us get huge enjoyment out of putting our stamp on traditional songs. I mentioned in either this or the other nonsense thread on the same subject that Imagined Village took this to new heights in my opinion. All that got was Jim Carroll dismissing Martin Carthy, so not sure where to take this discussion really.
