Merina Review: Another grumble about the Mike Harding P (37) RE: Review: Another grumble about the Mike Harding P 22 Oct 04


Don't understand the logic. My 75 year old mother has a mobile and is a demon texter. My teenage daughter thinks Martin's Famous Flower is the most transfixing thing she's heard all summer. More to the point, neither of them are ever likely to listen to Folk On 2 - my mother because she watches telly in the evenings and my daughter because she thinks the show is crap. So what does this prove? Bad theory i) says Harding was looking for a cute way to not have to play 2 long traditional English ballads so he could fit in more Irish bluegrass singer songwriters. Good theory ii) says they were trying a genuine experiment to get some audience feedback. Are there really any people left who don't have mobiles, other than the types also liable to also be whingeing old folk technotoads (the kind who also moan about programmes being on BBC4TV)? Blimey, what a shower . . .
