good points, nic,
may I point out that for many years I have been playing those small clubs singing traditional songs for little money but for the love of singing traditional songs, very often I felt I was ploughing a lone furrow.
John, I am entitled to an opinion, and I believe I have presented a logical argument,I am entitled to make a minor criticism of the EFDSS YOU TUBE CHANNEL, without AN IMPRESSION BEING GIVEN that I am some kind of folk dictator, I certainly would not be happy with your suggestion, it is up to the EFDSS to come to their senses, EVEN A TOKEN VIDEO of a traditional singer   would be more more appropriate.
