r.padgett Songs no longer heard in uk folk clubs (76* d) RE: Songs no longer heard in uk folk clubs 21 Apr 25


A lot of songs are still there, but I do think singing from a mobile phone is poor form

I researched songs I knew or should have and learnt or recorded. Remember the oral tradition needs YOU to learn not just the words but the nuances and stops acquired over time by others singers through constant singing in the aural/oral tradition

I went to Sheffield sessions on Sunday and a lad sang from his mobile ~ I had recorded the song 14 years ago and resurrected it recently ~ seems you sing one and it escalates like falling dominoes
