The 3 or 4 David Francey videos that were on youtube seem to have been removed, incuding 'Torn Screen Door' included under 'English' above. Incidentally, it seemed somewhat inappropriate to have included the composition of a Canadian singer/songwriter, albeit an acapella rendition, under the category of traditional English.

Hi beer...They're celebrating an ancient tradition called hunting the wren who origins are lost in antiquity.

the tradition is referred to often in folk song, both in Ireland and England

Ditchfield in 'Old English Customs', p. 32, informs us that a wren-box was sold at Christies a few years ago which used to be carried in procession in some parts of Wales on St. Stephen's Day. It is about seven inches square, and has a glass window at one end. Into this box a wren was placed, and it was hoisted on two long poles and carried round the town by four strong men, who affected to find the burden heavy. Stopping at intervals they sang [The Cutty Wren]. And so on for eight more verses, taking the form of question and answer, as in the ballad of "Cock Robin", and describing the method of shooting the wren, cutting it up, and finally boiling it. (W.S. Walsh, Curiosities of Popular Customs)

See also The Wren (The King); Wren Song

[1962:] Some of the most ancient, most enduring and at the same time most mysterious English folk songs are those concerned with the attributes and sacrifice of monstrous animals. At the end of the 14th century, when peasant rebellion was in the air, the old magical song of the gigantically powerful bird (presented by a kind of folklore irony as a tiny wren) took on a tinge of new meaning. For here was the story of a great fowl so hard to seize, so difficult to dismember but so apt for sharing among the poor; and what did that suggest but a symbol of seignorial property?
(A. L. Lloyd, notes Ian Campbell Folk Group, 'Songs of Protest')

There have been several archived videos removed due to terms of use violation.

I usually put a note after the video if this happens rather than deleting it.

I am particularly pissed off by the Jerry Douglas and John Renbourn videos being removed. Why don't the complaining parties allow a partial viewing, and offer a chance to buy the DVD ?

Here's one that's amazing...an older gentleman playing the fiddle with one arm, bow held between his thighs AND it's his right hand he's fingering the notes with! According to one comment he's playing the Rosebud of Avenmore, though I couldn't swear to it, not being familiar with that tune. If you watch to the very end, there's a good close up which shows his technique.
