The folk song revival in England 4: No More Folk Songs
'No Nation has a richer store of traditional music than England, and none is more prone to undervalue its heritage.'
(CECIL SHARP)
In 1922 Cecil Sharp , who had been in poor health for many years, died. Ralph Vaughan

The Folk Society struggled on, with most members holding the view that all the best folk songs had been collected.
