Topic: MAY 2025 FSOTM – FOLK

Ok, so here we are into MAY already! 

This month we would love to hear any performances from you in the FOLK genre.   You can do a COVER of any FOLK song you like or if you have an ORIGINAL you have written or someone else has written and you would like to perform for us, great! 

Looking forward to hearing them.

READY, SET, GO!!!

very nice !
great, but depressing ( War sucks)  lyrics and fab performance

You covered and performed this one well Grah1, you did Brian proud.  Great to see members covering and collaborating with each other's songs.
