Thread Name: traditional songs - best for learning?
Subject: RE: traditional songs - best for learning?
Vic said "to my mind this presents a rather negative view of the state of traditional song archiving in Britain."

Jim said "You seem content to accept that there's no home for Walter - sorry about that Vic"

Jim, Are you saying that you have tried to give away your recordings of Walter and that no-one wants to give them a home?

If so: when did you offer them? Who to?

I have heard that A N Other offered some recordings of traditional singers to EFDSS for adding to their archive and was turned down. If this is indeed the situation, does anyone know why? Who should we be lobbying?
