Thread Name: Writing a folk standard
Subject: RE: Writing a folk standard
To have a different opinion is not bullying.
I am stating how it is, not attempting to change anything.
I quite happily go and do an evening unaccompanied [less instruments to carry about] and giving the customers what they want, I also find it a challenge, because a different approach to the song is required.
THE FACT IS THE RULES IN IRISH SNGERS CLUBS ARE RESTRICTIVE,They prevent accompaniment, whether that is good or bad is debatable, and is not what I am trying to discuss, PLEASE PAY CAREFUL ATTENTION JIM
restrictions, prevent certain kind of development, whether that is good or bad is the subject for a different discussion, neither do we know how many people do not turn up because of the restrictiveness.
"Lloyd's concertina-accompanied songs work brilliantly but they're too hard to play to ever be folk club standards."
Alf Edwards accompaniments are not difficult, do you play the English Concertina, Jack?I do, and i am telling you they are not technically difficult.
