logically,if efdss can hold a song writing competition,why shouldnt they hold a competition for traditional unaccompanied singing.
2.I dont think the bbc award,is for traditional unaccompanied singing.
3.I am not concerned about your opinions,only efdss and john adams opinions[my offer is genuine and I feel it is a better way of using my money to promote english song,than joining efdss]
4,I know quite alot about unaccompanied traditional singing.,and am qualified as well as anyone to judge[bearing in mind all judgements have a certain degree of subjectivity]
5, I dont need anyone to tell me how to spend my money.
6.I have loads of good folksong books.
7 . I suggested that I should decide the winner[ Iam considered by many to be a good unaccompanied singer]however that is open to negotiation between myself and EFDSS,if they are interested. there are plenty of other good unaccompanied singers and I am sure we[EFDSS AND MYSELF] could NEGOTIATE that.
8.I am not spending, efdss members money but my own,so please let me decide how I wish to spend my money .DickMiles.
