I admit to entering the realms of "folk" via the Spinners.

I helped promote them at one concert and whilst chatting over a meal with them after the show Tony said that they always included two unaccompanied songs and those were invariably the ones the audience were humming on their way out.

So I applauded their evangelical method of getting more "public" into folk song and music.

I thoroughly enjoyed Folk Brittania (part one), the follow on on Friday and the repeat and Coppersongs on Saturday. Can't wait for next episodes.

It is nice to see "folk" being treated seriously, and although on a minority channel. At least there is the possiblity of it being shown on the mainstream channels at a later date has as happened with other BBC3 and BBC4 programmes.
