A folk song is often a story

The Golden Glove - - A wealthy young squire of Tamworth, we hear, - He courted a nobleman's daughter so fair; - And for to marry her it was his intent, - All friends and relations gave their consent. - 2. The time was appointed for the wedding-day, - A young farmer chosen to give her away; - As soon as the farmer the young lady did spy, - He inflamed her heart; O, my heart! she did cry. - - 3. She turned from the squire, but nothing she said, - Instead of being married she took to her bed; - The thought of the farmer soon run in her mind, - A way for to have him she quickly did find. - - 4. Coat, waistcoat, and breeches she then did put on, - And a hunting she went with her dog and her gun; - She hunted all round where the farmer did dwell, - Because in her heart she did love him full well:

What has been said about Irish Folk Bands.

Quotations about irish folk bands and their instruments crop up throughout literature. Here are some quotations:-

Folksongs must be dressed to be taken from the fields to the city. In urban attire, however, they are awkward and uncomfortable. Their apparel must be cut in a fashion that will not hinder their breathing. Whether for chorus or for piano, the accompaniment should always be of such a nature as to make up for the lost fields and village. ~ Zoltãn Kodãlv
