I love all kinds of art too. I don't think anyone wants to see one kind raised above another or seen as more valuable. But it is true that more money is ploughed into what the powers consider "cultural."

Right on John. Pulling together a one stop shop list of all organisations is a very good idea. Even better would be to build partnerships between them. The list is good first step to that.

Would like to see funding for:

Traditional song and dance courses offered through Adult Learning with links to local folk clubs, sessions and Morris sides.

Mini Mummers and Morris Minor sides at primary schools or mixed aged Morris (for the family) to augment the Extended Schools agenda. These to include musician workshops with proper instruments provided to schools and paid instructors.

Of course all of the above should include regional song and dance and history.

I would like to see Open University get involved with the project, though it may be too much to ask for a qualification in tradtional performance arts of England. Or does this already exist?
