GUEST,USA Brit Lack of Folk Music on BBC - thoughts (109* d) RE: Lack of Folk Music on BBC - thoughts 27 Jul 07

Dave, you are fighting a losing battle (unfortunately).

The BBC seem to have drawn their line with pulling out from probably the most known about folk festival after next year - Cambridge.

Given that the festival sells out each year, pulling their support indicates the way that the higher ups in the BBC see things - they don't rate folk.... so it is going.

I miss the atmosphere and new talent of Cambridge since I moved Stateside. It makes me glad that I no longer have to pay a licence fee to a corporation who neglect a thriving musical genre. OK, it doesn't appeal to everyone, but neither does classical music which gets far more airplay....
