Hello from the home of the Industrial Revoltion, the City next door to McColl's Dirty Old Town. What ever the origin of songs we call folk, many survived in the lives of working people. An egaliterian view of songs values this heritage and so folksong and post war leftwingery came together in the folk revival of the 50s and 60s, and good it was and continues to be. I leave it to someone else to explain why dance (ritual or social) has a much more right wing constituency.
