This aspect of . Sean-nós is quite interesting. Only 30 or 40 years ago, English folk "experts" were still denying that there was any English tradition of group or harmony singing despite the evidence of widespread "West Gallery" music in rural communities and of traditional families, like the Coppers and the Watersons, who'd been singing in harmony for generations.

Seems like "experts" frequently tailor the facts to what they currently believe.
