Subject: RE: BBC Folk Awards
I agree about Sting. I also though the Nic Jones doc was done extremely well. I have other thoughts about the Unthanks documentaries - good as it was to have seen them and not in any way knocking the Unthanks, I think they could have been done better. The Transatlanic sessions are slick - no doubt about that - but for me it is the pinnacle of what can be achieved by top quality musicians and singers getting together. They do shed the ametuerism that folk music is well known for, but is that a bad thing?
