Subject: RE: Being a folksinger - asset or drawback?
Perhaps you could rephrase your hobby and interest, in such terms as might convey the type of skills and efforts that singing folk song entails. Rephrase in order to sell those whilst hopefully trying not to get over wordy about it.
Even the most amatuer level of folk singing requires research, some cultivation of historical knowledge around the songs, and indeed the confidence to peform *and* communicate your interest to an audience.
Perhaps "Researching and performing traditional music and song"? or some similar sounding guff, might express your hobby in more interesting terms to a prospective employer?
Just a thought..
