Subject: RE: Songs you shouldn't sing in UK folk club
Just a question:

If I sing "So We'll Go No More a-Roving," a poem by Lord Byron that has been set to music for a whole variety of audiences and they all like it very much, then I sing it in a folk club, prefacing it with comments about what it is and where it came from, is it, then, suddenly a "piece of shit?"

And if so, why?

Just curious.
