Thread Name: Folk clubs - what is being sung
Subject: RE: Folk clubs - what is being sung
Sorry,
If I go to a folk club I expect a night of folk songs - nothing to do with misery or manners, just stating the obvious - which appears to have been either missed or ignored here.
If I turned up at a chamber concert and was given a selection of songs from the shows, as much as I might enjoy the latter, but I still would not have been ven what I paid for.
I wonder when people will come to terms with the fact that this is why club audiences have shrunk to what they have.
I'll just sit back and wair for the howls of 'folk police' now (an maybe listen to a couple of Jeannie Robertson recordings)
