Thread Name: Sidmouth on BBC Four
Subject: RE: Sidmouth on BBC Four
Well I enjoyed the programme, despite what I said earlier about bits being left out.
I agree with others that we should be grateful that the BBC are at last waking up to Folk music, even if it's so far on a channel that not everyone can get, but maybe they'll repeat it as BBC4 on 2 as they have with some other programmes. The same thing happened when the Scottish Hogmanay programmes started to include more traditional music - the whingers were at it straight away, whereas to others it was a sign of a long-awaited breakthrough.
Yes, and it could have done with being longer: after all, we get several programmes out of T in the Park, Glastonbury, etc each year, and the TV cameras were around all week.
