What's wrong with Newcastle Uni running a degree course in Folk Music (the lovely NikNak is on it by the way)If someone is given the opportunity to study our hertitage they should and in most cases will disseminate that knowledge further, thus we ought to be promoting the expansion of such learning not decrying it. Furthermore the college itself will be in a position to gather and maintain a database of our collective history in dance, song, story and music ........ anyone have a problem with that
