GUEST,Peter Stockport Songs you shouldn't sing in UK folk club (375* d) RE: Songs you shouldn't sing in UK folk club 02 Feb 10


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
