Thread Name: New Book: Folk Song in England
Subject: RE: New Book: Folk Song in England
I said I wasn't going to discuss individual songs but there's nothing to show that this wasn't taken from the tradition and altered to suit an urban audience - it's origins and percentages that concern methat concern me
I suggest you listen to Phil Tanner sing it and come back and tell me it sounds like a broadside compostion
I would appreciate a response to some of your claims though
