Ralphie, the reason that the English haven't had a rebellion recently is that we're all to damn' busy with squeezeboxen of one sort or another. Just as well?
The English national instrument seems to be the acoustic dreadnought with one pick-up on it, at least to judge from the local open-mike evening a day or two ago. After the Acoustic Lounge at Guilfest as well plus a 2nd-stage set, I have gone right off the young females who all sound exactly the same with self-penned words and and repeated ah-hah-hah-ing.
That said, Nonny Tabbush sang a very good song about her sailor bouy - er, boy - very well, Tristan Seume accompanying - actually got the whole attention of a noisy pub. And Tristan did a very nice Michael Turners's that I shall strive to emulate.
