Thread Name: Lack of Folk Music on BBC - thoughts
Subject: RE: Lack of Folk Music on BBC - thoughts
To steal from another thread. What about if they broadcast stuff at the wrong time of the year? I would like a series that visited the right places at the right time and captured the music in its context. Well dressing,Starry Gazey pie(I know its been done I heard it three times). all the stuff that I know little of and am never likely to see or hear in person. I would like a prog that only had "new" or original materiel,I would like to hear recordings rescued from wax cylinders. There are so many things I will never hear. You go get em Dave anything you acheive will be ok in my book. There have been odd progs with a dozen versions of the one song or tune also interesting. I hope no one turns this inot an arguement about what Folk is!
