Please list all of the occasions when you have visited Cecil Sharp House.

Until then, stop defaming one of the worst-resourced, yet most valuable, national treasures that this country possesses. It boasts Shirley Collins and Eliza Carthy, two of the most knowledgeable and important ambassadors for the folk world, as its new president and vice president. It welcomes through its doors, free of charge, thousands of people each year who are genuinely interested in music, not in pursuing their own, pathetic, self-obsessed agenda. Get out there. Get educated. Stop mouthing off about subjects where your arguments are, in fact, intellectually bereft. And grow the hell up.
