Sarah the flute Will Pound on BBC Radio 4 Front Row (16) RE: Will Pound on BBC Radio 4 Front Row 24 May 18


As The Sandman says it was the lack of dancing lift specifically that I found hard. I'm all for new experimental styles but couldn't quite see how this style of playing made it easy for the general public audience to understand the differences between the different types of morris dance - none of the tunes played were easily recognisable but worse the changes in emphasis and timing of the notes according to the different traditions seemed to get lost. This was on a well known programme on a prime BBC radio channel and I am not sure it gave listeners a representation of morris styles in a way that might engage interest
