My group sings, old English songs, beacause we are, old english folk.
Not entirely, though mostly correct. We sing songs which to us sound right with our vocal blend. We do a few Hunting songs but don't agree with Hunting, thinking about it all three of us are vegetarian. We do some Sea shanties and quite a few sea related songs. A surprisingly high number of Copper Family songs, with no real intent, as I did not know they were Copper songs when we started to do them. Most of the material was not written in this, or the last, century. Notable exceptions being, Last Leviathon, Frobisher Bay and the Tea Shanty. The only singer songwriter song we do is mine and I have only written two songs, one about beer (my Ode to Guiness) and none about my feelings, so I don't really think I qualify as an SS.
I think that many of the songs I have heard and liked over several years, so there could be some element of nostalgia in my choices.
