Thread Name: Making folk club recordings available
Subject: RE: Making folk club recordings available
WE had the opposite of what is being argued about heer on a number of occasions
Some of our early recordings in Clare were made in pub sessions - usually one of us with a recorder stood up and asked would it be ok to record - if anybody did, then the recorders were put away
When we produced a CD of Clare singers we used two particularly good songs from one of these sessions by singers who were long dead
We were called on by the nieces of one singer and asked if we were the ones who put "uncle Michael's on a CD
Somewhat alarmed, we said we were
The ladies asked if we would like the family recordings of their uncle
