Thread Name: Can Posh People Sing Folk Songs?
Subject: RE: Can Posh People Sing Folk Songs?
Yes, Andrea(s) Scholl was on Wireless Three the other day doing his folk song stuff. It was dreary. I came away depressed, though that's happened to me with many a proper folk singer too, even when they were being cheery. I agree more with Al than with Jack about Kathleen Ferrier. What I can't be doing with meself is those Benjamin Britten piano accompaniments. I concede that you can hardly level that one at Blow The Wind Southerly, of course. I suppose she had a go (they were all live BBC recordings if I remember rightly), and that you only need listen if you want to. Which I don't really, not much. And never to Andrea(s).
