The Olympics is not a national thing its a London thing like the Dome and Channel Tunnel but its for the benifit of the whole country, NOT.
The sad thing as far as as I know the folkie world has done lots of things with grants to promote Traditional Music and include communities but when the funding is chopped. The people responsible are unable to see whats been achived and think of us as a minority group and worthless.Instead of an all inclusive group with riches beyond their dreams ufortunately those riches are not monetary.
