Thread Name: Folk Song Past & Present as Social Activism
Subject: RE: Folk Song Past & Present as Social Activism
Ray is not my line manager - though he was kind enough to appear on my radio show and talk about his new record - it is great.

I know there are others like this too - but I came into folk song through political activism. I was on CND marches and went to a folk club to hear those type of songs. Then by mistake I went into a club where they were singing this "other stuff". And I was hooked.
