Derek Schofield's remarks above about English trad music should be taken with a pinch of salt. They may well apply to the kind of revival music played by the Oak/Old Swan/Flowers and Frolics/ axis that gave rise to the English Country Music Weekend and the term e-ceilidh, but they don't necessarily apply to the traditions of dance music in England as a whole. They may well apply to actual traditional music south and east of the Cotswold/Wash line, but that is only a part of England.
