I don't think I have got to the bottom of the left - right thing. The song side have a whole history of left wing sympathy which seems natural to me in that we are involved in continuing and renewing the music kept alive by working people. I know it isn't remotely as simple as that but will it do for a start? The second revival happened in the bussom of left wing activety and thought in the 50s & 60s.

Why I should see dance as a bit right wing I am not really sure. I may not be correct, and I do only nean a bit right wing, Maybe the dance side are just an average cross section of English people. I use the term English because I think things are different in Scotalnd, Wales and Ireland.
