Two excellent hours. Folk Brittania was a great overview; it put the music in its rightful social context and gave good emphasis to previously under-recognised musical sources: Irish and travellers. The following weeks are boding well.

It'll all get criticised, of course: too much of this -- nothing on that -- not him again! -- etc. But the best I've seen for a long time.

The second hour was the usual mixed bag, but there were some amazingly good gems - Andy Irvine for one. The old Tonight piece on the Newquay beatniks of 1960 was wonderful. As Greg says above - Wizz Jones was classic. Where did he learn "Penny's Farm" from (rewritten to take the piss out of the Newquay Burgermeisters)??
