Thread Name: Censorship-songs of certain folk singers?
Subject: RE: Censorship-songs of certain folk singers?
When I was doing lots of Irish gigs, it was fairly standard some places, usually English pubs wanted rebel songs. some places, usually Irish pubs and clubs, wanted no rebel songs. the customer's always right, if they're paying you.

i've been told that mysong about Ewardian serial murderer George Joseph Smith is politically unacceptable in an age when two women are murdered every week. If its requested though, I play it.
