to bb .our folk dancing and folk singing at my primary school was not by the p e teacher.,but the head master.
JOHN ADAMS.Iwould like to see efdss get involved in the folk festival scene again, as you know they used to run Sidmouth ,chippenham, whitby,and many others.I would like to see them do the sort of thing that the Hallamshire traditions have done[I believe they were involved in promoting either the hallamshire or a similiar event in yorkshire[[THIS HAS BEEN DISCUSSED PREVIOUSLY,but i cant find the thread]]
I know they have financial burdens,But the involvement in schools needs to be encouraged as much as is possible,Comhaltas appear to have political influence which helps their funding.
efdss might well approach Andrew Rosindell mp for romford who seems to want to promote StGeorges day[with folk events][ idont agree with his politics],but if he is keen on promoting folk music for whatever reason,he is a possible ally,and someone with some influence,who may be able to help e.f.d.s,s.
In the meantime PROMOTING CONCERTS AT CECIL SHARP HOUSE,booking acts that are going to put bums on seats, and providing adeqate facilities, is something that if efdss isnt doing they should be.
to accumulate you must speculate.
