Interesting how this is developing Noreen puts up a thread where there is am opportunity to contribute, it gets knocked a guest with Cecil Sharp House (with it,appears inside knowledge) skews it into a project that Cecil Sharp House are involved in with, plus a choir.

As it happens, most of the festivals you benefit from would be insolvent if CSH didn't have London rental income from its halls.

I agree with Noreen it would be nice for you to Identify yourself.
