If you don't believe my earlier post that 6 of 14 final recitalists this year were Scots (performing mostly Scottish music, which is good), and that the remainder did not perform anywhere near enough E. trad material (which is not good), then ask The Sage for a copy of their free Events Diary

Is this, perchance, an example of society suffering as England loses its own good culture? In which case, last one out please turn off the lights!

Interesting to note that there are more examples of WAVs own good English culture now than ever there were back in the halcyon days of the 1950s. More folk singers, more of them singing E-trads both unaccompanied and accompanied, more instrumentalists, more sessions, more Morris Dancers - in fact, the folk joint is positively jumping & long may it remain so!
