The last few years I've made a point of organising a folkie night on St George's Day - I do ask performers to try to come with English material, but, as usual, anything goes! But I make sure the pub is decorated with St George's flags etc, and the response has been very positive. Some non-folkies have even made a point of saying that we should celebrate our own national day, and they've enjoyed what we've done. Nobody objects to celebrating St Patrick's Day, after all, so why not St George's? Any excuse for a knees-up, I say... Joan
