Its certainly lonely being a fan of english music in Wales I can tell you!! i think its important that all the music of our british isles is valued. its all linked in some ways and yet different in others. Celtic music (whatever that is) certainly gets covered more in the media thats for sure. As a musician I always ensure that I include some english music, I've been playing english polkas in a pub on the west coast of ireland for example. But I really think that lovers of English Music should join the English Folk Dance and Song Society. Its not exepensive and is our only real champion. So spend a little and join. stevethesqueeze
