Folk Music Produces Great Live Acts
People enjoy live music because it moves them, it lifts their soul. However, if the performers are not, themselves, moved by the music they are performing this comes across to their audiences and those audiences leave their live performances disappointed. Because folk musicians are singing about the lives of normal people they are strongly connected to their music and produce very powerful performances that move their audiences.
It is very rare that you will go to a folk music gig and not see the audience really engaged. Most people are singing along and dancing. This is the case regardless of the genre of folk being played.
One of the reasons that folk music is so engaging is the wide variety of instruments used. The melodies produced are rich and complicated giving folk music, especially live performances of it, a really unique feel. This is also part of the reason it appeals to such a wide range of ages and classes of people.
If you're seeing folk music, likely you are at a traditional pub or festival or perhaps in someone's home. The beauty of seeing folk music live is the warmth that is shared between audience and players. Often at many a shindig, the players will play in an open circle and everyone can join in. Even if you don't have an instrument in your hand, you will be clapping, singing and encouraged to get up and dance.
Many a folk band in the UK offers even more than song and instruments when they perform. It is not unusual for bands to tour and perform with a dance troupe, merging traditional folk steps with modern contemporary dance styles.
This is the beauty of folk, especially when it is live. It is appealing to so many different ages and backgrounds and brings people together to have a wonderful time.
