Thread Name: What makes a new song a folk song?
Subject: RE: What makes a new song a folk song?
never been too keen on the boomtown rats on mondays or any other day of the week;
but would definitely consider songs by ian dury, wreckless eric, and xtc
as prime candidates for 'folking up' at drunken social singalongs...

...and more than a few other well remembered punk era classics and pop charts obscurities.

unfortunately this kind of 'just for the fun of it' punk to folk adaption has been lately appropriated
by ade ed mundson 's bad shepherds,
and promoted by fawning shallow showbiz journalists
as if he's the artistic genius who invented and owns the idea.....
