After reading this thread I announced at The Midway Folk Club Stockport last night that certain songs were now banned on the orders of the Mudcat fascist folk police. There was outrage! Try it for yourself, people don't like the thought that some songs shouldn't be sung... Here's the songs we sang last night in the order we sang them... Parsley Sage Rosemary and Thyme Last thing on my mind Manchester Rambler Taggle Taggle Gypsies Streets of London Man you don't meet The Boxer Frankie and Johnny Me and Bobby McGee Country Roads Fields of Athenry Fields of Gold My old mans a dustman When the saints go marchin in Swing Low Bill Bailey Kumbaya Down by the Riverside It takes a worried man This little light of mine Dirty Old Town Where have all the flowers gon Don' think twice it's alright Take your Glasses to the bar We had a great night,most of these are fantastic chorus songs, that's why they are popular. I'd recommend every singaround to have a night of banned songs. It makes for a very jolly night! So.... There are songs you shouldn't sing in a folk club but these old chestnuts ain't they! Think again Peter
