Chiming in! My "community choir" is made up of women who choose to sing what we call "music of the world's traditions" rather than the usual choral repertoire. I'm a folkie through and through (though classically trained...) and have introduced my singers to everything from Coope, Boyes and Simpson to Balkan to African to Wild Mountain Thyme and back again! Most of them had never heard anything like the stuff we do, before they joined up.
