If you read the list of atendees at the conference you will see from different parts of the world where different disciplines apply.
You revival list has nothing to do with a 'tradition' they were fads appied artificially to what is basically a narrative form off singing where being able to follow the words is essentail to understanding the song - Folk Rock could not do that in a million years
he English "style is an unaccompanied one
"It makes me wonder why Jim has collected and published all the songs he has found - He doesn't want anyone else to sing them........"
That is about as insulting as anybody as said here
I want people to sing them - thats why they are on line in County Clare and why two teachers have been employed full time t get kis to sing them
Have any of you people done anything remotely like THIS or do you just sit singing to each other in your little gentlemen's private clubs
Once more - how dare you - what are you people on?
