Subject: RE: What is the future of folk music?
Gluey: "One of the things that put me off folk, at least as youngster, was the fine pronunciation of song lyrics on the BBC radio children's service."

Lol! I remember 'Music Time' with Christopher Lilycrap (real name!) as a kid. It was appallingly bad in the worst condescending school ma'm sense. However I must confess that I myself do sing so all the words can be properly heard - possibly an inheritance from singing the odd bit of choral stuff. I also have an accent almost verging on RP.. if I'm not very drunk!
