I would love to be able to see the Folk Brittania series currently repeating on BBC4. I have asked my son to tape it for me. As an old folkie now living in Canada it is highly unlikely this series will air over here. However, if I may throw my three cents worth in. I do have a little credibility- I ran two folk clubs in London & Loughton, Essex from 1962-1968 and count many of the performers as personal friends.I also managed Paul Simon, Al Stewart, Don Partridge,Dorris Henderson and others. Ralph McTell was a good friend when he played in his first band "The Hickory Nuts". I spent a pleasant two hours this last Saturday talking with my old friend John Renbourn after listening to him "knock the socks off" the audience with his brilliant playing. For Peggy Seeger to say that Britain had no folk song tradition is nonesense- she must have forgotten performers like Owen Hand,Louis Killen,Red Sullivan, Cyril Tawney & the many others that song old tradional ENGLISH folk songs.
