Subject: RE: young folk tradition undermining folk
Topic records employ a PR agency - could it possible be the same people?

One article in the Guardian on the Saturday of the RAH concert. That was about the whole of the Waterson family (Eliza's picture was not in it) Mike, Mike's wife, Ollie Knight and his little daughter were in it. Mike, Ann Waterson etc are not in Waterson:Carthy. (Ollie does the sound).

One piece on Woman's Hour with Norma and Eliza the week before the RAH concert.

If there has been a lot more than that on national radio, TV or national newspapers then I confess to having missed it.

I am sure the radio programme on Bob Dylan for example that used Martin was not PR hype. And I would doubt that the programme on "Bright Phoebus" was PR hype either.

If you are referring to articles in folk magazines I would have thought it was highly likely they would appear in there and that a PR company would not be needed.

So I do not see a lot of evidence for the work of a PR company.

Perhaps they should change it?
