 * Thanks for all this. Glad you took up skiffle, and I think it merits a brief mention in text - or maybe on the English page. I'd like to go through the international pages and also insert brief paragraphs on the present page linking to them. Redheylin (talk) 01:09, 26 June 2009 (UTC)


 * Yes, we don't have to do them all if one is contained inside another. Skiffle is a folk genre, but only a minor part of British folk music or the British folk revival. I will try to have a look and see what can usefully be combined.--Sabrebd (talk) 22:01, 27 June 2009 (UTC)


 * Can we deal with the American, English and Celtic revivals (and various bits of them) together, and then go through various (None Anglo-Irish-American) traditions separately - or will this be too much for one section? --Sabrebd (talk) 07:27, 30 June 2009 (UTC)
