Thread Name: Non-conformist hymns
Subject: Non-conformist hymns
In our little band of jolly folk we sing quite a few non-conformist hymns. One or two of our local session friends roll their eyes at them. We have performed a few at folk clubs and heard mutterings about 'the God slot'. We enjoy singing these pieces because the harmonies are wonderful. Is it fair to subject our audiences to these hymns? Should we choose only to perform them at general public events and churches? Btw We are not a religious group. We do mix them in with trad and contemp.
