Thread Name: Folk clubs - what is being sung
Subject: RE: Folk clubs - what is being sung
I count 21 Folk songs, 12 'Neo Folk' songs, to use your phrase Richard (although I cant help thinking of 'The Matrix' when I see it..;-)....). I also count, 9 of what I will term 'Old Classics'.

That's not my whole repertoire; that's just what I have selected for this tour, and they are all pub gigs I'm doing. I just make the place 'Folk Clubby' myself by use of the material, if I think the crowd will handle it.
Folk Clubs generally speaking wont have you playing 3 X 45min sets, anyway.

Considering I only need 33 songs in any one night, I don't have to touch any of that oul Hank Williams or Bob Dylan nonsense.
