Subject: RE: Review: Grumpy British Folkies part 273
That's a thought. I must have sat down and evolved a song recently.

I thought evolution took time. Four hours after evolving it I played it at a folk club.

It being a folk song like. I thought it a more suitable venue than a bingo hall.

😂😂😂😂

Outvoted Jim. Live with it. Grumplily if you like but iTunes seems to know a bit about music.

(Says me, sat listening to some Ewan MacColl on Spotify as I type. All those songs he wrote eh? I'll write to Spotify and tell them to take MacColl out of folk. Where do want him Jim? Country and western? 😂

On a grumpy serious note, there are many folk artists who have made a career or lifetime interest in folk who might be a wee bit upset to keep reading an old man saying they aren't folk because err. He says so?

Obviously they (we?) reckon otherwise. Don't get me wrong, the tit trousers brigade are part of folk but folk is far too interesting to be just the sum of the many individual parts, most of which have been written by real people over the last fifty or so years.
