I don't want to turn this into a thread about Damien Dempsey. I first heard him live at that set in Cambridge and thouroughly enjoyed it. His songs mean a lot to me, but maybe that's because I live in more or less the same part of Dublin. If being in/out of tune was a barrier to listening to folk music, many of the people referred to in earlier threads as source singers would never have been listened to. Anyway everyone is entitled to their opininion so enough of that.

While I haven't watched the whole program yet, from what I saw, I think the program waqs interesting and well made within its own paramaters. Paul Brady was indeed a glaring omission, but I think Paul may not fit in with the political agenda of the program makers.
I'll refrain from further comment 'til I've watched the full recording.
