Fair enough Guest:

"The EFDSS may have gone around arresting songs and tunes and locking them up in CSH
Interesing viewpoint and a total lack of historical knowledge. It was the Folk Song Society which "arrested" the songs. All EFDSS did was put then in a nice library near Euston Station where they were accessible."

Maybe a bit over the top - just re-reading The Imagined Village again - amazing book
