"as some people seem to believe"
Never heard that one
Some songs were accompanied, the vast majority were't
However, there is such a thing as traditional music, presumably played on traditional instruments
America, of course is different
MacColl never had a 'prescription' of how songs should be sung
If he did, maybe someone can produce it - won't hold my breath though
Jim Carroll was going to the clubs from the beginning of the sixties right through to the present day
I resedented regularly into the early nineties, but continue to go as regularly as I could/can after that
Is it really necessary to distort my position - it would seen so !!
