Thread Name: What is a folk song? Version 2.0
Subject: RE: What is a folk song?
Dear Sharon I tried a couple of local Traditional Music Clubs, and found lots of 'music wot i just wrote' - how is that traditional? and ions of music to slit your wrists by,not entertaining. I do think clubs should be entertaining and each singer/performer has to contribute to that. The odd pop song can lighten the proceedings, but all of one thing makes it very exclusive and not inclusive which is what it should be. I like to travel and visit clubs out of the area and it is like " a box of chocolates, you never know what you are gonna get" The beauty of having some traditional songs in the proceedings is that it is a base line where every folky attending the club can feel involved.
