What is English traditional music?

England can easily match any other country for the richness and diversity of its traditional dances... So, if there's all this wonderful stuff lying around, why aren't we more aware of it as an everyday part of our national culture? Why aren't we all doing it, and valuing it, and treasuring it? ... it is, or was, mostly done, and valued, and treasured in the country... preserved most tenaciously by the least privileged layers of society... because even if there's little in the way of material wealth or worldly possessions, at least you know who you are... '

Leading box player, singer and dancer John Kirkpatrick explains here.
