GUEST,Hootenanny	UK TV More 4 folk night on Sat 7th (66* d)	RE: UK TV More 4 folk night on Sat 7th	08 Dec 13
Just another occasion where the word Folk is misused to mean singer/songwriter. Undoubtedly some talented musicians in the programme but of very limited appeal. We were told at the beginning that folk music is now more popular than ever???? I also wonder at the knowledge of the presenters: "Woody Guthrie along with fellow Southerners" ?? Vashti Bunyan "crossed the length of the country" do we cross a length? Was it really punk that showed people that they could attempt music without any musical knowledge or skill? I thought that that happened in the skiffle era. OK so maybe I'm nitpicking but it would help to have someone who knows the subject to present it. Hoot
