Subject: RE: BBC 4 folk program
Thank you IS.
I have in the interim found some details of Homefires and that was not the festival that looked nice. The second year looked much less "folk" than the first, from the lineup. There was another shown at about the same time, with similar-ish material, that was clearly not an indoor thing. Any suggestions? There seemed to be a lot of young people there.
I too, while admiring Billy Bragg's revolutionary writing, doubt that he has much to do with "folk".
So what is this "acid" or "twisted" scene? I'm pretty sure the program said Roberts was associated with it.
