Thanks, Compton, generally my repatriation is not going well, frankly, but one good thing is that my presence (participating, watching, arguing) on the folk-scene is not bad for numbers.
To Sedayne - I read your posts, as usual, but you do seem a bit confused about the value of books on English folk songs, such as your Penguin. And saying that my studies in humanities, including anthropology, has no relevance to these matters is also a bit silly, in my opinion.
And, no doubt, some of the English reading this have organised "ceilidhs"...why not be a devil and put "English Country/Barn Dance" on your next pamphlet/flyer, and see what happens..?
