No band - just me singing. The songs have mostly been written to tell a story, or for political purposes, e.g. crowd singing at a rally - a lot of the old ones weren't quite so relevant. I don't play an instrument, so I've just recorded the songs very simply, just in case anyone is interested in using them. I don'd care if they get altered.

Yes I sing live, usually unaccompanied. I'm comfortable doing it, because I seem to be able to get the intent of the song across, which is what my kind of music is all about. It's great when people listen completely absorbed. The best experience was singing Eric Bogle's "No Man's Land" to a school assembly of several hundred girls who were absolutely rapt!
Grew up in a musical family, with classical music, musical comedy, operetta, and Noel Coward. Came to love folk music, especially political or topical. Love Phil Ochs most of all - so much of his stuff is still painfully relevant - and wish he was still here. Also Tom Paxton, Peggy Seeger, Margret Roadknight, David Rovics, Ewan MacColl, Judy Small, Holly Near, etc.
Just voice. Record songs in a local community radio, although my sister has got all the relevant stuff for her computer, so may be able to do more things with her - she's a professional pianist/singer/songwriter.
Love to hear from any like-minded people!!
