I mentioned EFDSS because they are a national organisation and the English equivalent of comhaltas. They are supposed to be the guardians of English Folk Song, I would like to ask Brian Peters why/ he doubts if they would be interested.finally no one has been able to say why the Irish instumental tradition is stronger than the English. Comhaltas must be doing somrething right. Remember the first fleadh was in 1951 when irish music was in danger of extinction, now its flourishing.
