Oh, I'm sure quite a few beers could be consumed while discussing the evolving history of Cecil Sharp House. I've certainly read with interest the forces massing for battle in the 1960's.

However, I doubt if there are any major battles shaping up there now. Undoubtedly there is the occasional alienated individual who doesn't think that he or she is being paid enough attention.

I look forward to paying another visit next year, to enjoy the library and the folk club sing, and a pint or two.

Cheerily,
