Thread Name: The Yetties,My introduction to folk song
Subject: RE: The Yetties,My introduction to folk song
When I first came to folksong in the early 1970's my starting points were The Yetties, The Spinners, The Dubliners and The Corries. OK, I moved on but back then The Yetties were a ceiliidh band you'd travel miles to see.
If I look at my singaround/pub repertoire today it still contains many of those songs I learnt from those four groups 30 odd years ago.
All the best
