I'm afraid MacColl is too old fashioned Jim.
They want fresh new talent, it doesn't matter what they write or sing as long as it brings Arts Council funding.
There doesn't seem to be any great interest in the old songs
For someone living outside of London, EFDSS = Vaughan Williams Memorial Library, without that it would just be a north London community centre.
Arts Council funding is essential because they have given up on raising funds through membership.
They have around 3.000 members worldwide. Comhaltas Ceoltoiri Eireann for all its faults has about 3,000,000 members worldwide and 50'000 volunteers.
