Andy7 are very long folk songs boring? (89* d) are very long folk songs too boring? 21 Apr 18


Yes, they very often are, imho!

I do love, and value, the fact that the old, traditional songs are kept alive in our folk clubs.

And yet, if they have way too many verses, and go on and on and on, I start to find that I'm a little bit less in favour of perpetuating those wonderful old songs, and a little bit more in favour of the concept of a '3-minute pop song'!

Although maybe it's just that my attention span, like that of most people these days, has become a lot shorter than it used to be?
