Surreysinger: acts to fill the Albert Hall acoustically.Here are a few ideas. Well, I've been organising carnival marching bands in virtually all the northwest towns and cities for England for many decades, that's one area I would explore. Some forms of celebratory music obviously, Padstow type stuff. Dohl drummers and dancers from the Midlands. Community choirs. And, absolutely definitely, solo unaccompanied singers and instrumentalists or small groups who are up to it.It's amazing what you can do with a quiet audience yopu know. How do you think the Albert Hall worked in the first decades of its existence? I won't name a lot of names right now, it is an idea I would like to develop, in the Albert Hall or somewhere else. But, I don't believe the idea is really a goer in terms of the Folk Prom. There are vested interests who don't believe that this is the way for the BBC/Folk axis to move in.
Ralphie: who is the Roger Wright that you don't think would wear the idea? Some BBC big cheese?
