GUEST,Alex	Folklore: Define English Trad Music (150* d)	RE: Folklore: Define English Trad Music	22 Jun 08
I think that came out a bit harsh, i'm not elitist and enjoy almost all sessions, but.... i'll tell you what started this thread... i was briefly playing tunes with Ross Couper and common ground was a lot of Irish tunes, and then he and comrades played some Shetland tunes and I'd have loved it if we could have contributed some great English music. But what? I do play loads of the classic tunes and I'm good enough to play them well (musical and interesting) but not maybe in a trad English way... I'm sure I would enjoy your session, I enjoy slow (and fast) (and faster) tunes and I enjoy new tunes and new people. But I can only learn what i hear... and I need English bowing, phrasing, ornamenting, set ideas, variation ideas/improv.... etc cheers, al
