Subject: RE: BBC 4 folk program
With so many really talented female singers on the scene at present, what a shame that those chosen to represent the 'best' in women's folk music put up such a woefully pathetic show.

Where were the guts, fire and drive that we know exists and that Peggy Seeger and others promotes?

Where were the wonderfully strong voices of the likes of Hilary Spencer?

Where were the amazing harmonies as produced by Jane and Amanda Threlfall and other all female groups?

When the group sang together the sound produced was not pleasant to listen to. What works with the natural family blend of voices for the Watersons, did not work with the those on stage in this performance.

That's my opinion anyway. If I had payed to sit through that I would be asking for a refund.
