Thread Name: English Folk Degree?
Subject: RE: English Folk Degree?
WAV, if you enjoy singing something, then you rob yourself by cutting it out over something so pointless and arbitrary as 'English' origins. People have always sung songs which they've liked and changed them, if, say, they thought that they wanted to sing it in English and not in Scots. Music is music, it knows no boundaries.

I had another thought about that Newcastle folk music degree. So, say not one of the graduates performs traditional songs, but they do influence POP MUSIC, which I thought you wanted to be more English.
