If you don't go to them, Diane, why SHOULD you care?

Obviously I've been or how would I know?
I care because such a poor image reflects badly on the tradarts.
It's little wonder that the public perception of trad music and dance in England is a sad joke 'normal' people snigger at.
Sub-standard, unrehearsed performance in public, that 'good enough for f*lk' attitude, is something I've encountered in no other country and it is long overdue that English people are educated into valuing their own cultural heritage.
And it's happening, though obviously not yet in 'backwoodsland'.
Not that such a neo-revival is entirely as a result of my ranting, oh no.
But a pathetic wailing of 'live and let live' from the backwoods (or the rundown backroom of a city pub) isn't going to silence me.
But if you don't care about excellence in English music and dance, just what are you doing here?
