Tootler....that's bad isn't it! When are we going to realise that the music of ALL of us is important and that the English come under World/Roots music right alongside everyone else.

Eric ;0)....The BBC boards are basically appallingly modded and they are, in my opinion, visited by small group of total control freaks! Freedom of discussion is not permitted, just take a look at what Paul Sherratt and his buddies have done to the Show of Hands one on the new Music Club board, and before you tell me I'm rabbitting on about SoH again and it puts people off, I merely chose them as my FIRST thread on there, because Johnnie Walker has started playing their music on his Sunday show over the last few weeks, plus Steve was recently on Radio 4 as 'Country Life' has been chosen for the soundtrack of a new film on the problems in the countryside. This was shown in the House of Commons last Monday....as always All Hell Broke Loose!! My first post has been removed btw, although WHY when I am on Pre-Mod in the first place, I have no idea!

I'm aiming to talk about loads of other people too, but keep following the BBC link above, as that discussion grows and watch the control freaks telling me that I musn't talk about folk music on any other board than the F&A one.

Oh...and last night, someone else started a thread on Karine Polwart on there...now interestingly, she's not been harrassed to death over that, as I am being over the SoH one...and it's raising interest as people over there don't know about Karine! I've put masses of info and links on about her in Message 3, but....the Mods still haven't allowed it on! Grrrrrrr...!

Those boards could be used for such good! They could open up so many closed minds and get people thinking! But no....they are controlled by The Weird Ones and the BBC is happy to let it happen.

Folk music has been held in a box for way too long, English music in particular, often being kept locked away by the very control freaks I'm talking about. Well....the time has come to throw the box away and let it out.

*BUT* it won't get out if everyone sits on boards for er...folk music, where you are all talking only to each other.....

TALK TO THOSE WHO **DON'T KNOW!**
