I think that the course is very innovative for England. I fear that most of my knowledge is anecdotal and I would be interested to Know what the situation really is for these graduates - has the training met expectations? How many are making a living at it ( I know of one who is songman in warhorse( as opposed to actually knowing the one who worked for Hobgoblin)))? How many are on the folk club circuit?
How easy is it for them to teach privately ( especially if their main instument is not mainstream )? How easy is it for them to get on post grad studies like teaching?
How many have had to ignore their degree and do something totally different?
Surely some of them must know about mudcat and be willing to post?
