Yes, I'd forgotten Streets of London!

Some wonderful advice. I was just asking basically which songs have been done so often that people who go to folk clubs a lot have all heard them and are fed up of hearing them. This is difficult to know because of course the people who are fed up with them don't sing them, so I come new to a club, I don't hear these songs and think "Why don't I give that one a go?". I must say that the messages are getting through now, and I only have to do a song once to realise that it isn't working in that club.

I love some of the other advice! Sooz - don't do the same as you did last time!! I go to about 15 clubs off and on, and have to keep a spreadsheet to tell me where I have done what song, just to avoid this! I don't do accents - except mine own, which has been described as transatlantic Australian Devonshire! Comes from living in London, Lincoln and Exmouth when a kid. Some of the done-to-death sound great in a massed band singalong at the end of the evening. And as for pop songs, I have heard some fantastic versions of "Mad World", and am working on my own version of Snow Patrol's "Chasing Cars" - sorry Jim!
