Sorry, let me correct that.
You didn't get it wrong - it was one of the (I believe deliberate) mis-statements made on the programme. Your quote is correct.
Another staggering one was the accusation (from someone I have great respect for) that MacColl and Lloyd's aim was to form folk ensembles similar to those to be found in Eastern Europe (this while talking about fiddler Michael Gorman). As proof the speaker produced the sleeve notes of the wonderful Folkways record 'Irish Jigs, Reels and Hornpipes' Sure enough - there it was in black-and-white up on the screen, which was strange as I knew Ewan and Bert both hated those ensembles.
When I checked my own copy I found that the notes had been written by American folklorist Henry Cowell and Ewan and Bert had nothing to do with the record.
