Dear Pauline Greenhill, Would a part case-study, part reflective evaluation of a) the international folk festival of Pécs, Hungary (last night saw the end of the tenth) and the folk-dance movement in general in Hungary "As seen through the eyes of an Englishman..." who is now in his twentieth year in Hungary, and also a founder member of the Pécs Festival. The paper would include the fact that we were officially banned from using the word, "Festival", for small-p folk-political reasons, because it implied that something of a competitive nature involving formal ranking of quality was going on - which ours didn't and doesn't. It would also compare the British folk song club and Hungarian "Dance House" phenomena, and how, over twenty years, the respective club-goers have changed in character and/or age. I should be very happy to submit such a paper if you felyt it would be relevant to your journal.
