There are many thousands of songs. There are many song collections and many versions of the same song. Where to start looking? That's the problem.
Note. Our intention is not to restrict this initiative to English Song, but to use the present headings as a starting point to view whatever develops from wherever it comes.

Performance
section editor Chris Coe
This is a tricky section to think of including. One doesn't always associate folk song and 'performance' but some of the techniques applied by the traditional singers can bear scrutiny, especially by those who want to sing the same sort of songs.
The intimate fireside delivery of Walter Pardon.......
Lizzie Higgins taking a deep breath, expanding to be a 'giant' and setting forth..........
Johnny Doughty turning his cap sideways and singing the Herring's Head.....
And any one who has seen Jock Duncan perform the Two Sisters will have a vivid understanding of song delivery with gestures....
Watch this space.
