"WAV - what exactly is this trad. English culture of which you speak? Do give some few examples and explain what qualifies them as being objectively and absolutely trad." (SO)

"...E.g., I just posted a recording of "Young Emma" (complete with an English-flute intro! and a pic. of a "lowlands low" that I'm sure you'll recognise)."

AS usual, I note, WAV hasn't given a direct answer to the question at hand. just a link to more of his rather insipid web work ( personally I really don't care what the flute's nationality is) Why? We may ask. Simple, he has no answer, because his narrow view of what constitutes England and its traditions simply doesnt exist and never has. Now if this , in his words "knocking England" then so be it, but as I have already stated my view of England and the rest of the British Isles aka Great Britain aka the United Kingdom, is miles and them some away from WAV, thank god.
