Attended the Durham Gathering on Saturday where, unlike the Durham Folk Party, above, the ratio of local:exotic Folkworks was not good; then tuned-in to Northern Folk on Sunday and, again, heard a majority of foreign folk music. However, what English music and dance I did hear and see over the weekend was most enjoyable and of good quality -the problem is one of SELECTION; i.e., as a well-meaning repatriate, I find modern-English badly under-impressed by our own good culture/traditions.
