Jim Carroll What is Happening to our Folk Clubs (1104* d) RE: What is Happening to our Folk Clubs 23 Oct 17


"just how much did he earn in royalties for Roberta Flacks version by the way."
I've no idea Rag - but he didn't write the song for money - he made it over the phone to Peggy because he missed her - it wasn't taken up by Flack or anybody
I always wonder why people begrudge MacColl and Seeger their good luck yet are happy to open the doors of folk clubs to professional non folk performers who bring with them the liability of payments to PRS and IMRO to add yet another burden on an already treading-water scene.
It's commercialisation that has always bugged the folk scene, right back to the Folk Boom days
