GUEST,Phil d'Conch Folklore: What Is Folk? (156* d) RE: Folklore: What Is Folk? 01 Feb 23


...Oral transmission. &c.
Unless there's more to that, Harry Belafonte singing anything live in a football stadium would meet the standard. The council's own published & copyrighted standards could not.

Your "house" rules are a different beastie than sterile academics. Not all gen-u-wine folk songs play equally well North-South-East-West. These things are more unspoken than oral.
