GUEST,Jim Knowledge Folklore: What Is Folk? (156* d) RE: Folklore: What Is Folk? 26 Jan 23


I `ad that Jan `adlow from the BBC in my cab once. The Radio Times reported she `ad been earmarked to produce a series of programmes about traditional songs and music, their origins and background and she was looking to interview as many people in `er opinion `oo could provide some kosha info.
I said, " Morning Jan. Broadcasting `ouse again?"
She said, "Yes please Jim. Oh, by the way Jim you and you`re lot `ave been doing trad songs for years. `av` you ever come across situations where certain songs `ave been the cause of a Bull and Cow?"
I said, "Well yeah. I remember some punters decided to do a club in "The Chequers" pub near Uckfield. They settled on "`ands Cross Traditional Music Club", very original. It was also decided, in order to maintain their trad. ideas, that potential singers material would be put before the committee to ensure it met their requirements."
She said, "That sounds novel. `ow many people fitted the bill?"
I said, "None, it folded after a couple of weeks!!"


Whaddam I Like??
