Hooray! Well said, Robbie!

Oh, and further to what I said above about where artists get their material from, this in relation to the song 'Master Kilby' came up on uk.music.folk over the last couple of days -

"Where did Nic Jones get this from?

Specifically, from the 'Journal of the Folk-Song Society' volume 5
(issue number 20) 1916, p.272."

For those who don't know, the Folk-Song Society was the fore-runner of EFDSS before it joined with the English Folk Dance Society.

It is unlikely that Nic had a full set of the Folk Song Journals (there are relatively few around), so he probably went to the library at CSH and found it. And that is the only source of the song, so without the Society, either in the distant past or when he visited the House, it would not have been in his repertoire.

Please, those of you who value our heritage, get in there and help!
