taimatsuSo I'm going to Reading Folk Club on Sunday with ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
chaosdeathfish, and I intend to sing something if possible. I'd like to have three songs available to choose from, as I don't know how their system works (like whether people do one or more than one at a time). I have got some ideas but need more.
I'm going to want something that's not too long, not too short, not too bawdy, and for which I can describe how I learnt it/its origin. I don't want to sing something which is too closely associated with a specific band (so I'm not likely to do Man In Green by Show of Hands, for example).
SO, if you have sung with me at all, and there was something I sang which you thought worked especially well, please tell me. Or if you have any other related ideas.
Currently I am mulling over Let Her Go Down, How Will I Ever Be Simple Again, and Rocking The Cradle.
Edited to add: do feel free to suggest new songs I should learn - but obviously I can't sing those on Sunday, so if you can suggest something I *do* know as well, that would be handy. :)
I also want to make sure whatever I sing has some connection to actual traditional music - as in, it's a traditional song, has trad words or tune, or is written in a traditional style by a performer or group with strong trad links (e.g. Oysterband, Steeleye Span).
