Hey there Jack you're way out of line there. Many of us musicians who love "traditional English" music are also involved in other genres. Most of my musical time is spent playing English folk, but I play jazz, early, classical, Irish, Swedish, and anything else that turns up, although probably not so well. And so I find out about the connections, both musical and historical between them. Not to mention getting involved in discussions about pitch, temperament, scordatura tunings and interpretation. And of course heated arguments over what constitutes "folk/traditional" music. The musical community is MUCH bigger than English folk. Get out there and join in!
