Subject: Orange and Blue Folk
Has anybody noticed in the last few years the special cameras they have for TV Folk? It doesnt matter if it's Shetlands: pehaps Ian Carr accompanying Aly Bain. Maybe a big Celtic Connections session in Glasgow, with Ian Carr accompanying Phil Cunningham and Aly Bain. Perhaps the South Bank, with Ian Carr accompanying Kate Rusbie and Phil Cunningham. Or Cambridge Folk Festival, with Eliza and Martin Carthy accompanying Ian Carr.
It's always shot with this weird camera that only picks out orange and blue colours. Even when it heads into to the audience for a moment, and there's this bloke with long hair holding hands with a woman with long hair, and they are are nodding along. They still have orange and blue faces, hair and clothes. What's going on on,eh?
