Chris B (Born Again Scouser):maybe if you are having an open and welcoming trditional music event in the northwest of England, you should consider involving the musical traditions of the northwest of England as well? Especially as they are closely linked with those of Ireland and Scotland(obviously).We have a fantastic array of fiddle tunes, you know.Several thousand were collected in the area, and I feel you would enjoy welcoming them.(Non-competitively, of course!).
