I did not say that my version was authentic, I demonstrated how i would do it, that is completely different.
"It is not the role of the EFDSS management to tell people how or how not to play folk music, traditional or otherwise. The membership of the society will all have different ideas of how folk should be played, sung, danced, acted, presented or whatever. The Society can use its resources to enable these diverse ideas."
It is the role of the EFDSS MANAGEMENT to demonstrate how traditional singers sang songs, if it isnt what was the point of Sharp collecting all the songs,and other collectors such as Kennedy recording them,
If the effdss management do not believe it is their role to present and make available to the public [whether they be young or old and]show how these songs were sung by traditional singers, they are in the wrong bloody job.
at no point did i say that the EFDSS management should be telling people how to play folk music, I am saying it is their job to demonstrate and make available and promote traditional songs sung by traditional singers.
