Well Tattie Bogle, i didn't mean to suggest that UK and England were the same (as i sing with a Scot and Northumbrian that would be a bad mistake indeed!) - but i am curious about singing groups across the whole of the UK. I am also looking particularly at their use of English folk material. I would expect Scottish choirs or whatever you call them to use more Scottish material, but equally, I'd expect English "choirs" to use more English material, but it doesn't seem to work like that.

PS I might rename this thread to avoid causing confusion!
