I wish everybody tuned their guitars with as much art as Martin Simpson. Can anybody tell me what his second number was please? Wasn't mad keen on Bella. I'm a big fan of Bellowhead and, yes, I thought they were a bit like rabbits in the headlights for a while - I thought Paul Sartin's intros were a bit stilted. The sound balance coming out of my telly was dreadful although the dance sets came across pretty well. And did anybody else find that the 'simultaneous' Radio 3 transmission was somewhat less than simultaneous? I love what Bellowhead are doing, and they've managed to get my early son and his partner turned on to traditional music in a way that I've never been able to. And how about Jon Boden for the next Doctor Who!
