Subject: RE: Songs you shouldn't sing in UK folk club
Anything in a fake (and, therefore, usually unconvincing or even cringe-making) Scots, Irish or American accent. We all have our own accent when we speak, usually acquired unconsciously by the absorption of the accent of our childhood locality - why change it when we sing? Why change it at all, for that matter?
IMHO. YMMV.
