GUEST,Mark Stevens Shrewsbury FF to ban 'blacked up' Morris (264* d) RE: Shrewsbury FF to ban 'blacked up' Morris 01 Sep 16


" began a campaign by an extreme right wing British political party to infiltrate the folk song and dance scene and subvert our traditional music and song and claim our cultural heritage as a tool of their vile and warped processes. "

It wasn't like that at all, Vic Smith. It was merely spreading out to a wider audience and EDUCATING some of our disenfranchised indigenous British citizens that were unaware of their roots, and tradition; the value of their own culture, instead of mere imported, and other mass media 'entertainments' .

Folk music (and it's enthusiasts) and Morris dancing have long been the butt of crass jokes, as portrayed in the common Media. I can see their point of view, with a Folk following usually identified by it's typical stereotypes. I do not class myself as a Folkie.

Or maybe Shrewsbury FF stance will bring about a new breed a FRESh-faced[sic] stylee, and the re-emergence of; Cotswold dancing ??
