Jim,

EFDSS has changed enormously since you last had anything to do with it, not least in the matter of vastly improved funding. The Dance faction lost control of the reins many years ago. The Library is thriving under the stewardship of Laura Smyth and her team, and the work that has been done to get their archive material online is absolutely priceless. The Society promotes regular music events in the (refurbished) hall, and Sharp's Folk Club still runs in the cellar, often with a number of young singers in attendance. They are also involved with all kinds of other projects, some of which I'm more enthusiastic about than others.

You should pay the library a call next time you're in London!
