And there's a fine tradition of Morris dancing/ sea shanties and the like which don't come under the ambit of non-Anglo/American 'folk music' in the popular consciousness but are still very much English folk traditions. That's not to mention the various Welsh, Scottish and Irish traditions - what's the difference between Egyptian/ Arabic/ Eastern-European bagpipe music and the bagpipe music of Ireland/ Scotland?

Perhaps something focussing on folk traditions? Which of course excludes new music, which would leave out soca, soukous and highlife (not to mention a fair few other things. You see the problem?

But yes, Mr Beard also more than welcome. It'd be nice if someone with a bit of net-nous could do some leg-work (although I have a designer mate who may be able to step in) and have the peeps from here as admin-y types.
