Hi everyone,

I'm new to this forum and fairly novice when it comes to folk music =) I was wondering whether I could get some ideas/recommendations for which songs I could try next which might suit my voice...

To give you an idea, songs that I already have in my set list include things like Beeswing, Willie O' Winsbury, Fear a bhata, and the Creggan White Hare. I like to get a good mixture of songs but would like more English songs as I'm English so I feel kind of guilty having a set list that's mostly Irish music!...

I have a fairly high voice (A below middle C to high E/F when singing folk, higher when singing in my classical register). I've been told I have quite an 'irish' voice and enjoy performing decorations when I sing.

I hope this doesn't sound like an inane post but if anybody knows of any other nice songs I could have a look at/cover please let me know! At the moment I'm looking into doing Blackwaterside, possibly Reynardine and I'd like to try Bold Doherty by Niamh Parsons too...

Thank you,

M
