June Tabor was just amazing - she seemed to live the words - but her performance was the only one the sound guys seemed to get right. To give Jim Moray his due, it seemed he had trouble hearing himself (or am I giving him an excuse for being out of time), and his perfomance did remind me of Frank Spencer as well. I think he has got an amazing ear for how folk music could be presented but I can't seem to get on with his voice. Someone had told me he won the unacompanied singer award at Bromyard last year! I'm afraid he wouldn't get my vote in that catagory. But a great night and well done to the BBC for putting it on.
