I'll happily agree that Fay's survey ISN'T about just trad singing - but since that's what I mostly do, and the survey is referring to the participation of a specific individual(ie the respondent) , and asking what the areas of that individual's participation are, that's the angle I'm likely to be coming from, and thinking about or responding to !!

And incidentally we actually have a community choir in Guildford as well - but I wouldn't call that "folk singing" since it covers many and varied areas - eg White Christmas was in it's repertoire last year - and by no stretch of the imagination would I call that "folk singing", lovely though it may have been [grins] Choral singing is choral singing, whether it be community choir or large classical choir - folk singing it ain't.
