Brendan Cool Pub and Club Sessions in Kent (25) RE: Pub and Club Sessions in Kent 06 Jul 05


All in favour of "Irish" music, of course, but I take the original point and prefere an eclectic belnd of songs in "music" sessions and music in "singing" venues - that's a far better mix. And "folk" music is (sure it is) watered down all too offen with pop music, with Beetles numbers slipping past the folk censors. No, I think organisers should be critical in the folk genre and keep standards high. Inclusive yes, that's important, but all inclusive for folk musicians and singers, not for those who want to come along and sing blues, jazz, country, pop... They need to go elsewhere. You don't expect folk in a blues or jazz club. Inclusive yes as well for music with songs, songs in music sessions... Be critical - everyone else is...
