I think that since we're in the European Union we ought to celebrate all the national days of all the member countries. And they should all be holidays.

I agree with Dave about it not just being English folk music that gets sidelined. It's informal and self-made music across the board that is undervalued. I'd like to see a combined push for all the traditions, not some divisive squabble about what's English and what isn't. If it happens in England, it's part of what England is about.
