Thread Name: Unaccompanied Singing
Subject: RE: Unaccompanied Singing
Here in Australia unnaccompanied singing has fairly recently come to be called "a capella" as a fashionable term at folk festivals and folk clubs.
We played at a festival where a lady asked me if we did "archipelago singing". I liked the term so much, (after gently correcting her so that she wouldn't feel folish next time she said it,) that we often introduce an unaccompanied song using that name.
