Thanks Howard and Malcolm ~ time will tell

For the record I see no advantage, indeed nowt but confusion with a name change away from EFDSS ~ it is what is being done and can be done to improve and increase participation and help in all aspects of dance music and song

The "professionals" seem to have advanced by need to make a living, their "place of employment" certainly away from the "folk clubs" ~ what everyone is looking for is a paying listening audience ~ a move towards festivals providing Workshops in all aspects ~ maybe?
