Les in Chorlton I really enjoyed that Folk Club because. (101* d) RE: I really enjoyed that Folk Club because. 10 Jan 16


OK, I will say this only one more time: I started this thread - "I really enjoyed that Folk Club because" to collect good practice.

I feel sure we all know that the songs collected from mostly agricultural working people at the end of the 19C form the core of what we call Folk Songs. Those same people sang hymns, popular songs and all sorts of others stuff that was largely ignored by collectors.

What most of us want when we go to "Folk Clubs" is mostly what was collected.

Now, if you want a long personal row about what Folks Songs are, what was the policy of the Singers Club, and all that other stuff go and do it in a thread of your own and leave this thread alone for the purpose I intended.

Best wishes
