Bit pushed for time - I was going to leave this until I'd completed what I had to say, but as "Mr" Bounty hound seems to be having trouble going ahead with his event – will leave the rest till later.
"Phil and Mr Carroll as to how I should advertise said event."
"Mr" Bounty Hound (see how stupidly childish this looks), continues to bang on about what to call the songs he has written – he writes them – call them what you want – I don't write songs so it's really not my job to label your product.
If you are writing using folk forms, that's what they are - new songs using folk forms, these have always been part of any evening in folk clubs I have frequented throughout my life – why on earth should you want to call them anything other than new songs?
The finest and most prolific writer on songs based on traditional forms always referred to what he sang as "folk songs and new songs that derive their ispiration from the older ones" – good enough for Ewan MacColl, certainly good enough for me.   
"well lets suppose you are right jim. stinkers like me.... "
You have made this a personal attack Al, not me – I don't suppose its any use my asking you characters to remove some of the defensive hostility from your postings?
As I said - it's all coming from you.
