Thread Name: BBC 4 folk program
Subject: RE: BBC 4 folk program
Sorry It was I who was posting about being born in 1966. The site lied about resetting me cookies.....

As with anything viewed from a distance, it's all too easy to make the wrong assumptions about what you're looking at. Especially if you're not familiar with the subject in the first place, which I reckon the makers of this programme are not.

I'm not saying that Steeleye Span's version of All around my hat was the very best folk could offer at the time (that's always going to be a subjective debate...) but it did get me into folk. My other half (Parker) knows bog all about folk - pretty much that most of it doesn't annoy him - but he found it facsinating to find out even the relatively small amount of information that was presented. That can't be bad.
