Subject: RE: What makes a new song a folk song?
Spooky. Many years ago when working in Portslade, I did visit a folk club in Lewes and at the time, it would be rare for me not to knock out an Al Stewart number (Pussy cat or Nostradamus) and one of many Richard Thompson songs in my folk repertoire. When "down south" a song from a radio ballad usually gets thrown in too, just to get all Northern at southern softies.

I said you couldn't afford me Bryan. Looks like you don't need to, the tribute acts are abound since I sold up my business interests in Sussex by the Sea.

Aggressive takeover... Dozy old sod. I refer to the folk world I entered in the '70s. As revolutions go, we cant be very good at it then!
