I thought this was going to be a thread about which pop songs have passed into the tradition... and it's probably going to provoke the usual arguments about "what is a traditional song"...

Probably quite a few Copper family songs, and songs popularised by the Watersons and Young Tradition, like "Thousands or more", "Byker Hill".

Other songs have fallen in and out of fashion over the last 45 years, and lots of really popular ones have seeped into the tradition after being written by Keith Marsden, Dave Webber, John Conolly, John Tams!
