Thread Name: An English Folk Awards..?
Subject: RE: An English Folk Awards..?
Thank you for answering a straight question WAV...... so why call them "English" why try and sort things on nationalistic lines? These are false divisions that breed unhealthy competition & war. Why would it matter if we lived in Scotland and Wendy had written the same song.....or if she was from Hong Kong?

I really don't feel our culture is under so much threat (in fact it is constantly enriched by mixing with other cultures) that we have to pull up the drawbridges and try to be exclusive. .....why do you think this is important? I would be grateful if you don't refer me back to your life's work but gave me a straight answer on this one as well.

Thanks

By the way, I wouldn't know where to start with a cittern.
