Thread Name: What makes a new song a folk song?
Subject: RE: What makes a new song a folk song?
The beauty of a stage name when I was in rock Al. Plenty out there on youtube, some I like, some bloody awful, but not linked to the common or garden folkie who likes doing the odd floor turn, charity concert etc.

The thought of some of the weird buggers on here commenting about my past... Mind you, sadly, the synicated folk shows that went to over 200 hospital radio stations in a dozen countries with interviews, studio sessions, live recordings at The Boundary in Worksop etc have all been wiped so far as I can tell. They were Ian, but unless anyone knows differently, Ward Folk has no archive since a "clearout" when new studios were built.

Funnily enough, in all that time, including interviewing old men with trousers up to their tits, nobody mentioned 1954, nobody got precious over genre....
