The division of the music has been ongoing for some years now, with huge growth on one side of informal song and music sessions all over England. It seems like every village in Northumberland has a 'trad' session these days (pre-virus, of course), but not only there, much further south as well.
Sandman, you have often praised the financial help and exposure given to young Irish musicians, and you say the Irish 'roots' scene thrives?

You've also often bemoaned the parallel lack of help in England? However, all this informal music in England has happened without such help, indeed the sessions are sometimes the subject of varying degrees of ridicule from the public, and the BBC is only now realising that there may be something worthwhile about folk music, even if their efforts are pretty wooden & uninspired up to now.
Your idea of folk camps sounds a bit like the pre-war Woodcraft Folk events & may be a possible step forward- especially for socialists with little spending power?
At the very least, it's a positive idea for a future where folky social gatherings like clubs and festivals, and even sessions? become impractical
