Thread Name: Folk songs for a 'non-folkie' audience
Subject: RE: Folk songs for a 'non-folkie' audience
I have played a wide variety of music in a wide variety of venues & sometimes I've included songs which I suspect the audience hasn't expected. In one instance I was booked to play at a pub called the Musgrave Arms, near Luton & it inspired me to finally learn the song which I used to sing there. Mind you, one person's reaction did give me cause to wonder if it was worth it because he came up to me & said that he thought that it was a great song but then asked what it was so I asked him what he meant & he said " What is Little Musgrave? Is it a horse!!?
