Just wondered what other people thought ….Maybe I am getting old, need to adjust my hearing or something but I didn't quite "get it" and wondered how a non folk audience might react |

22 May 18 - 05:22 AM (#3926306) Subject: RE: Will Pound on BBC Radio 4 Front Row From: Mr Red His real name and he started out as a drummer in Steamchicken he did think of styling his name as William. I pointed-out to him that Will Pound was more catchy as a drummer, and I doubt I was the only one. Podacst for Friday 18th May. @ 21 mins to 28 mins They mentioned his show and it is part of Chippenham Folk Festival Big Top Monday @ 4pm. If you just want to see his "Through the Seasons" show come to the info cabin by the river for a ticket - and you may be served by a guy in red. There are usually tickets for such shows though it may be popular so buy early. And queue for a good seat. If you haven't seen Debs Newbold then you are in for a treat. Benji Kirkpatrick AND Will playing. |

22 May 18 - 04:12 PM (#3926471) Subject: RE: Will Pound on BBC Radio 4 Front Row From: FreddyHeadey Here's a clicky for "In Tune" https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b0b2m7zg Will Pound @ approx 7:50 & 34:10 interview 39:20 & mouth organ 44:30 From these examples I think I preferred his mouth organ playing. The interview was interesting enough for this sort of programme. Generally I'm thrilled to see youngsters getting involved and showing these skills & enthusiasm. ~~~~~~~ I'll second Mr Red's comments about Debs Newbold. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ bbc iPlayer Radio app http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/articles/3yvdp3zQJWLtl204z9nxgRt/download-the-iplayer-radio-app (click the '+' on the programme's web page then on the app click Menu > My Radio > Listen Later) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ |

24 May 18 - 07:39 PM (#3926941) Subject: RE: Will Pound on BBC Radio 4 Front Row From: Sarah the flute As The Sandman says it was the lack of dancing lift specifically that I found hard. I'm all for new experimental styles but couldn't quite see how this style of playing made it easy for the general public audience to understand the differences between the different types of morris dance - none of the tunes played were easily recognisable but worse the changes in emphasis and timing of the notes according to the different traditions seemed to get lost. This was on a well known programme on a prime BBC radio channel and I am not sure it gave listeners a representation of morris styles in a way that might engage interest |

But the general public confuse Morris with Mumming. Gawd knows how they distiguish Molly, if ever. Those who didn't see the show at Chippenham missed a fantastic show. Will had gathered around him some of the best Folk performers IMNSHO. The music was excellent, but it could have been just another excelent show without Debs. I was singing the praises to anyone buying tickets and she dun me proud, as she would in any show she performed in. For a show about Morris there was no actual dancing, just a stylised drawing type video. If you haven't seen Debs yet - you is missing out PAL! |
