Thread Name: Sam Lee on Front Row (BBC Radio 4)
Subject: RE: Sam Lee on Front Row (BBC Radio 4)
Re Puck's Song. I often sing it very slowly to the morris tune London Pride (AKA Idbury Hill). Fit's like glove, and sort of confirms the Bellamy remit with respect of Kipling with the Tradition. The Bellamy tune is a masterpiece. I sort of wish Sam had stuck a bit closer to it really, but that's a very minor gripe.

Sam Lee excites me in the same way Grayson Perry does - both are inspired in their unique visions of traditional culture. Sort of makes it all worthwhile really. A pure joy.
