Folk Song Survey Results

We asked 800 people who were interested in folk music to tell us what pieces they’d like to see included in our Folk Song project.

It’s very risky publishing a list like this because, although we’ll make some people happy….we’ll pi@@ off many others…so sorry in advance.

Anyway this is what we get when we only include multiple requests and refine our definition of ‘folk’
