Hi folks. I’ve been thinking about original songs, composed ‘in the style of’ traditional songs during the height of the folk revival, that became so popular they entered the repertoire of performers or became staples of floor singers or at singarounds. I’m thinking of things like Dave Goulder’s January Man, or Keith Marsden’s Bring us a Barrel, or Dick Gaughan’s adaptation of James Hogg’s Both Sides the Tweed, or Ewan McColl’s The Shoals of Herring. What others can you think of?
