Every time I go to a folk festival I see children playing. Folk Arts England encourages them.

I said it was to raise money or to promote the Irish language.

Glad you agree with me. ..were designed not to raise money,but to encourage Irish traditional music/song and the Irish language

If the organisers of Clor na nGael believe I have insulted them let them get in contact with me Dick.

Dick you were the man who thought the highly respected fiddle player, author and post office worker - Malcolm Douglas, was the highly respected librarian at the RVWML - Malcolm Taylor.
