Why not? It certainly functions as one, being covered by bands from the best-known to the most obscure at events of all kinds. Perhaps you're thinking of the difference between trad. folk and contemporary folk music, but in the case of Mairi's Wedding it's getting hard to say which of the two it is, known author or not; not many people now alive can recall 1934, and even 1959 is becoming a distant memory. Perhaps a song that people have taken to their heart as folk is the epitome of a living tradition. Chiswick Chap (talk) 07:48, 16 August 2015 (UTC)Reply
