stGeorges day is april 23, shakespeare was born on this day,.it is celebrated in goergia , bulgaria ,portugal and catalonia. All the countries where it is celebrated could be encouraged to bring dance teams and singers       to celebrate it with the english at cecil sharp house. I am sure efdss must have already done this, or perhaps as their remit is only international song and english dance this is what they must have done.However if it was made a public holiday it could be celebrated by all folk singers and dancers throughout england and affiliated dance clubs etc.
