"Ok so what should we be doing to "save" folk song, please??"
Make an issue of them rather than "tolerating them" - sing the songs rather than hiring somebody to do it for you,like the ladies in the cosmetics advert say - they really are worth it
I wish I has a euro for every time I've heard somebody say they feel uncomfortable and unwelcome when they sing their unaccompanied songs in a folk club - that should not happen, and that is does is a sign that something is rotten in the State of Folkland
I've just poured out my heart about what folk song has meant to me personally on the other thread - haven't got time to do it again - the dentist won't wait
