Thread Name: BBC4 folk - what would YOU do
Subject: BBC4 folk - what would YOU do
The current thread on the BBC4 Christmas Sessions has raised the inevitable debate based around `great to have these programmes on' versus `the programmes are shite'. Both views of obviously valid because we're all different and therefore have very individual, subjective views.

This got me thinking: someone obviously produced those programmes, made the selections of old TV clips, and/or booked current artists to video new material. So what might be the result if mudcatters had the chance to be the producer? Who would you select from both past and present?

Having asked the question I'll admit that I'm not even too sure of what my answers would be yet, except to say that I would want a lot mnore English music (if one can say that these days without appearing to sign up to the BNP or EDL). I like Scottish and Irish music, but I do feel there is a current school in the `meeeja' where Cletic = good and Crap = everything else.
