Good point Mo.

I have been thinking about how "Folk" has eveolved since I came across it around 1963.

Many overlapping genres I guess. I seem to remember lots of groups of men with guitars Spinners/Clancys perhaps. Two men and a girl - Peter Paul and Mary style then 4 scarry harmony people Watersons-ish. Melodoens, fiddles and sessions then all that electric stuff. No disrespect I have enjoyed all of them.

I not sure what point I am making but lots of great music has been and continues to be made and we seem to be in a time of great revival, if I dare use that word.

As for dance we seem to have a bout 10 versions of morris and ritual dance. Barn Dances never fail every community needs a place where we can dance the worst and the best kind of social dance.

Is it time to learn from and share with people who have brought their own traditions to the UK more recently?
