Subject: RE: UK attitudes to folk music
To quote Flanders and Swann "Whenever we do something good it's 'Another triumph for Great Britain' but when we do something bad it's 'England lose again'"
Anybody watching the programme on BBC2 on a Tuesday night at 7-30pm - The Nation on Film? A great series of programmes about the rise and fall of things like Railways, Fishing, Cotton, Mining etc. BUT it's crying out to have snatches of songs in the background to illustrate them with. Are TV producers not aware of our industrial musical heritage?
