Thread Name: The Unthanks-A Very English Winter-on BBC Player
Subject: RE: The Unthanks-A Very British Winter
Doc Rowe is the man!!
We [and I am a collector of songs] don't have time to visit all parts of England to see and experience Folk Customs all the year every year!
I have a grasp a bit better than average of the existence of certain Customs but have no intention of having a Tar Barrel on me head nor fighting for a mock Ladies Cap (Haxey Hood)
Frankly I found the video work and the research and the Unthanks delightful and I think we (folkies) should also be minded that it is and was aprogramme for everyone not just (us)
