Sue Allan Arts Council Funding for EFDSS (62* d) RE: Arts Council Funding for EFDSS 07 Oct 09


Absolutely fantastic news, and not before time: recognition of folk ARTS (not just dance as 'sport' and song as 'heritage') in England at last ... although I know from experience (working for an Arts Council RFO) that the status also brings responsibilities as well as opportunities. But I see it as the start of a real renaissance and congratulations to all concerned at EFDSS who have obviously worked very hard for this.

BTW Dick, in the north of England at least Folkworks in NE and Folkus in NW are doing sterling work in teaching folk instruments etc to youngsters and offering workshops for all ages and I'm sure there must be similar in the south of England: Comhaltas is most certainly not unique in doing that.
