I flamin well loved it... I wish it had been 2 days and more artists if I had to grumble but I really enjoyed it all :) As far as the Beeb are concerned... they have been denying folk traditional and otherwise from the limelight for too long. It really peeved me off that they create 1xtra, radio 6 and 7 and not have created a folk one. Screw the classic snobs, I was brought up with both and have seen several events at RAH and love it as a venue. I knew when I was watching Bella singing on the centre stage that the Beeb would omit a lot of it, I was hoping that they would provide a podcast but all I could find was the flippin !player (my little joke for the programmers among us) aka iplayer which is only available for a week!!! wtf!!! PODCAST IT BEEB3! let the masses have access to beautiful art, stop suppressing it! It was great to see you Ruth... hope to see you in a couple of weeks :D
