Surreysinger: what I meant by the BBC/Folk Axis is that there is are certain types of artist who get heavily promoted by the BBC, win BBC Awards, get chosen for the prestige events etc, and that these are not the types of artists who have developed styles which could fit in to the totally acoustic concert I was suggesting. I have nothing against artists who depend on sound mixing for their acts, a lot of what I do myself is precisely that. But, as Ralphie said re my idea: wonderful(won't happen, of course).
This is the real world. The thing about my idea is, the usual suspects wouldn't make any money out of it. So, regretfully, it will not happen.
