"To Banjiman - for what it's worth, I think "The Visitor" is a good self-penned English folk song, and I hope you and yours put your skills into E. trads, also."

Wendy says thanks for that WAV........but would a Scot (with some African ancestry) singing it be eligible for your "English" folk awards?

Indeed we sing and play English, Scottish, Irish and American (and we'd probably do Russian/ Japanese or Punjabi if we wanted to) trad (and self penned and other contemporary songs)........which is the whole point. Good songs, things and people come form all over the globe....and should be allowed free movement and the chance to make their way wherever.
