Subject: RE: Heads up - BBC4 tonight Christmas Folk
Oh, I was just commenting on the Unthanks 'In the Bleak Midwinter' - which of course was set up as an "I dare you" by a previous post anyhow! But it was god-awful frankly. Had Mr.CS peeing himself laffing at my imitation of it a minute ago ;-)

I didn't dig Bellowheads take on Mistletoe Bough much - too drunkenly rollicking for the death of a bride - even if the lyrics are cheesily sentimental.

I thought Lisa Knapp's Coventry Carol was stunning myself - she's got a thin, breathy sounding voice (like the Unthanks do) which I don't dig too much usually, but it was atmospheric from the theatre - which she seemed to draw up outa somewhere. Never heard her before BTW.
