It seems to me that looking at some of the figures quoted earlier that there are a large number of folkies that do not support the EFDSS which i would suggest should be a worry .
I feel on balance for me that the EFDSS is a large London Folk Club with a library that does not in my experience move out of its own enclave. There are so many young people doing exciting things in the English Tradition that I fell that the EFDSS is missing out on. Would I join the EFDSS at the moment no it has nothing to give me as far as I can see unless I travel to London at a large cost to me both in time and money
