>>>>Long before some silly little boy decided to write a pop song using the same title and some tune he may or may not have heard in a pub, which somehow prompted an idiotic, outsourced production company to bring the BBC Folk Awards into disrepute by trying to pass it off as trad. It'll all end in tears. Hopefully. <<<<


By 'some silly little boy' are you meaning Seth Lakeman, man in his late 20's? Son of Geoff....Cornishman from Penzance land of The White Hare....Drinker in Dartmoor pubs where music is still played by many older people, who like to pass things down to the next generation?

And tell me Countess...isn't our lovely Jim Causley even younger than Seth Lakeman? As is the lovely Jackie Oates too....

I do hope you're not a Narrow-Minded, Bitter Ol' Traddie being patronizing to younger people! Tish, tish!

However...I'm right with you on ********* Smooth Ops...not over The White Hare, but for many other things..

They couldn't organise a whatsit in a thingyummyjig in my opinion! Heck...they don't even respond to emails! AND their Customer Care Manager has had been holding two fingers up to his er...customers for years and years on their site...until just a few weeks ago.

Arrogant or what?
