Subject: RE: The current state of folk music in UK
I blame James Taylor for messing with proper songs.
Steve I hope you are well I enjoyed sitting in a garden of a pub in Helmsley some years ago. With Mimi... outstanding talent+-
I shouldn't play proper songs wrong I know but I'm bad
Is it the song or the performance.
Or the arrangement.
Late to the party.
I have a lot of friends who love Walter Pardon (? I may have got this wrong) and I find it hard work. But at least I listened
There are purer versions of the water is wide - but we will sing it to a 'non folk audience' tomorrow night and they will go 'wow'
Unless I'm mad
