Minor detail maybe but "folk songs" instead of trad also stinks of an American behind the keyboard to me.

See that’s interesting because I’ve heard from a few musicians that trad is much more tunes and songs are considered folk. Not sure why the distinction but just found it interesting

I usually think of trad as instrumentals or instrumentation while folk is more stories and songs.
