Subject: The media - Is it biased to Folk?
I have been looking at a review and trailer of a film called 'Morris with Bells on' which it is claimed is a big hit and is something I would like to watch on the BIG screen.
However the large Cinema Organisations state there will not show it Nationally because they don't believe there would be any interest in it.
Another hit against the Folk Scene/English Traditions. How do we fight back or are they correct?

N.B. I subscribe to 'The Living Tradition' Magazine because after months of trying to obtain it via my Newsagents they could not because the wholesalers - W.H. Smith - stated they would nor carry it because of lack of interest. Ten years? later I still subscribe.
