As many of you will know, folk sesssions can frequently be morbid events with songs about death and destruction.
Some years ago Dave Mason, Landlord of the Dolphin in Robin Hoods Bay, and I decided to see how many people or things we could kill off in a one hour session and set a World Record during RHB Folk Festival first weekend in June.
All songs had to be genuine I.E. Nothing written specially to mention 56 billion suicicdes etc.
The first year saw about 16 million, current record is 104 million including the occupants of the Irish Rover. I am looking for genuine songs that kills off loads of things, could be fish or fowl or folk as long as something or someone gets the chop
