Subject: RE: What makes a new song a folk song?
'. I'd be intrigued to hear heavy metal in a folk club. Could you tell me where?.

well steeleye were quite heavy - they cite Quo as a major influence -

but you don't seem to like them , or have much respect for them. i always thought they were too traddy by half!
When Tim retired to the Canary isles, some Spaniards asked him - what is that strange accent you sing in , which part of England do they speak like that?

how to explain, its was the lingua franca in traddy clubs! Although nowadays since Kate Rusby - the thing is for ladies to slip in the Yorkshire vowel sound - like Kate does.
