ha ha ,Now the planet where I come from,I would impose Tony Rose on them , in my opinion the greatest folk singer of the 20 century they could have, dave burland , nic jones, martin carthy, Peter bellamy.louis killen and uncle Tom cobbleigh and your goodself.probably an improvement on rap. England has a cultural heritage, the same as Ireland and Scotland and Wales and this should be encouraged.Now if i went to saudi arabia, I expect to respect their culture, I wouldnt drink alcohol,I expect to be able to hear the traditional music of Saudi Arabia, if people go to Ireland they expect to hear the traditional music of Ireland, So whats wrong with coming to England and hearing the traditional music of England, and the best way to keep that going is to encourage it in the primary school curriculum whereever possible. now i dont mind encouraging other cultures too in fact I am very fond of Indian music. but if I Went to Saudi Arabia I bet I wouldnt be encouraged to listen to English traditional music. these things have to be reciprocated. political correctness can sling its hook.
