Thread Name: Folk clubs - what is being sung
Subject: RE: Folk clubs - what is being sung
Well, to pick another pedantry, I'm not a folk singer (close to being what most call a "source" singer) but I am close-ish to being a folksong singer (ie someone learning folksongs from recordings and books)

What I have learned most recently would be

The Nutting Girl (still working on it)
Knight William
Avram Bailey (one of the variants of "the Wild Boar")
The Grey Cock
Sam Hall
The Princess Alice (Rickard)
Gentlemen of High Renown
Admiral Benbow
Famous Flower of Serving Men (I cut it down to 19 verses without losing ALL the story!)
O'er the Hills and Far away
The Miner's lifeguard (changed my mind and stopped doing it)
Love Has no Pride
The Gairdener Child
