Sons of Albion tour

Now, we have heard interminable discussions of the last couple of years over the merits (or otherwise) of the Daughters of Albion tour brand.
So, who should be in the Sons of Albion package?
I'll start the ball rolling. No contest, for the youth element: the Young'Uns. Saw them the other day for the first time and totally bowled over.
So, who else, old, young, or in between?

I don't think the sons of Albion have ever shown any interest in joining their fathers in Morris dancing!

The usual suspects, Martin Carthy, Tony Rose, Spiers & Boden, etc.
Definitely MC, though.

It seems to be a non-issue

Why no mention of Blair Hutchings, son of the Guvnor? What have Tony Rose, Spiers & Boden got to do with the Albion Band?

I believe this is to do with Sons of Albion (akin to the Daughters of Albion), not just the Albion Bands.

Yes, I did mean Sons as opposed to the Daughters of Albion touring package. That is, a current group of the male sex to represent the best of English folk, to match the Daughters concept.(my personal prference would be for the Offspring of Albion, but that is by the way).
