Thread Name: What is Happening to our Folk Clubs
Subject: RE: What is Happening to our Folk Clubs
I am more than happy with the phrase "it is the re-fashioning the re-creation of the music by the community that gives it its folk-character."
"Those were the days" by Mary Hopkin while being 'folky' would not fit that definition but crowds singing "Home and away my friend, we are the Stretford end" does :-) Tickles me anyway.
