Jim - you stated the following:
"The BBC field recordings are held in full by the Vaughan Williams Memorial Library - as far as I know, they are unavailable for general use.
Instead, E.F.D.S.S. chooses to proioritise poor new compositions which, in my opinion, have nothing to do with folk song
For me, all this is an indication of the poor state of the revival in Britain"

Can you tell me what these - "poor new compositions" - "they prioritise" - are ??

Thank you - Tim Radford
