Jim - it is interesting that most of the threads you are involved in - end up acrimoniously - so who is to blame for this...........?? I fully admit to not going to many Folk Clubs - maybe because I live in the USA - but when I do I get to hear what I expect to hear - many Traditional songs often sung unaccompanied. I seldom if ever frequent clubs or venues that advertise "open mics" or such events - where I would expect to hear singer/songwriters and plenty of covers - but then you have admitted you haven't been to any sort of cub for years - relying on what you THINK happens or are told by others - BUT you do not listen to what people say here.....so who is to blame for this...??
And by the way - to choose a Traditional song to sing - you look for something that has some relevance to you and your history - and one that you like!!!
