"Sadly some people seem to think that folk music was set in aspic sometime in the 1950's."
I wonder why the only ones who quote '54 are those who reject it
MacColl was writing songs right up to his death in the late 1980s and I sang three of them last week-end
MacColl left around 300 songs which he made uing folk forms and (according to Peggy), forgot as many again
How does that relate to "setting folk in aspic" - that question has been ignored so many times as to lead me to believe that even those who make such distorted statement don't even believe it themselves
It really doesn't do you any credit to keep repeating that lie PFR
It is believed that Shakespeare wrote his last play in 1613 yet his plays are still regarded worldwide as the best and most important theatrical creations ever
Is the constant drive to perform them (saw four last year) "setting the British Theatre in aspic"
Why do you insist on making this stuff up when you must realise it bears no resemblance to what is being suggested ?
