I was watching TV with half an ear yesyerday while reading and recovering form the excesses of Saturday (don't ask!) when one of them there bargain hunt type programs came on. (UK cable TV that is). It wasn't David Dickenson but one where peopel gather up their unwanted stuff and try to meet a target by selling it at a car boot sale.

Oh look, thinks I. One of the couples competing were folk musicians. Him playing melodeon and her playing hammer dulcimer. Intersting I thought and went back to my book. Then blow me! The next couple were also folkies. Him playing guitar and her the fiddle! Didn't catch their names at all. Did anyone else see it?

There was one good bit later on when they all got together in a scratch band with other car booters doing a country dance:-)

Anyone out thee in TV land fancy launching a new reality TV in which folkies get their gardens done while someone else paints there house? For added interest the folkies cold be taken to the jungle and forced to listen to pop musuc talent shows...

Cheers
