Just means 'of the English'. It is the title of a rather good Eliza Carthy CD (bet her ears are red if she's reading this), but it's also a better way of describing English folk music and song, without lumping it all under Celtic which is rapidly becoming the musical equivelant of under the bed. You know what I mean... stuff that's too good to throw away but you're not sure what you're going to do with it, it's not stuff for the wardrobe, it won't fit in the underwear drawer and you can't remember where the other half of it is.
