@Pseudonymous. I don't know enough about Sharp but regarding one's nation as 'English', and not seeking to find a 'British' national music, could be regarded as being respectful of the Welsh, the Scottish and the Irish. And not at all inconsistant with understanding the Boers' perspective on things. It's not clear from your post what approach to nationality you would view with merit. I once had to explain to some Argentinians that Edward Heath was not the Prime Minister of England. Confidence in my answer was undermined by me then being unable to explain why the the countries of the UK have their own international football teams. For purpose of disclosure I am northern English and resent The Scouring of the North by those who became our fuedal overlords. Shouldn't you get back on topic?
