Good points Jon.

Is it the case that since the 'Second Revival' that started in the 60's, what ever 'Folk' is simply out grew the EFDSS?

Even today hundreds more of events happen weekly around the country and dozens and dozens of festivals are organised without any connection with the EFDSS.

I have just been re-reading 'The Imagined Village' and the role of the EFDSS before WW2. It makes me think that the only serious Revival was ours of the 1960's and beyond.

Some of the Folk Clubs, Folk Groups, singers and musicians of that revival were amazing and some were pretty dire but for quite a while if you lived in a large town or City you could walk or get a bus to a Folk Club and in some places many nights of the week!

Some Revival hey?
