Thread Name: English Folk Degree?
Subject: RE: English Folk Degree?
There's been a trend in modern England, Glueman, that grew strong under New Labour, whereby, rather than just appreciate other cultures, it became cool to practise them, as well, instead of traditional English culture. This trend has not been so strong in Scotland, e.g., hence this statement of fact: I just had another look at the Sage Event's Diary and 6 of the 14 final-recital students were, indeed, Scots (performing mainly Scottish music, which is good), with the rest performing some, but, overall, no-where near enough, English music.
