Subject: RE: What is it that makes folk radio a success?
I should have thought it was fairly obvious that some of the song workshops will deal with precisely that. For example, Frankie Armstrong did a whole workshop on vocal technique barely a month ago.

We book guests of high standard. Our residents are of reasonable to high standard and most do a certain amount of paid work. We teach by example. We also create a friendly, supportive atmosphere in which new singers can experiment, gain confidence and improve. Telling people to shut up avoids taking risks with hesitant performers in the short term, but in the long term discourages new singers from trying and kills off the very support the music needs.

I think this thread should return to the original topic.
