GUEST,DaveS at work	BBC 4 folk program (340* d)	RE: BBC 4 folk program	13 Feb 06
It was remiss not to at least mention the impact that younger solo performers like Nic Jones, Tony Rose, Sean Cannon, Martyn Wyndham Read, Dave Burland, Dick Gaughan and Peter Bellamy had on the scene in the late sixties and early seventies. I don't accept that the rise of electric folk had any detrimental effect on MacColl's popularity as I saw him at least once a year between 1968 and 1973 and he never failed to pack a room. And how did Donovan get away with talking such drivel. Can anyone remember him from a folk club or similar pre 1965? As I recall the folk scene at the time totally ignored him while those not quite on the scene but into Dylan etc showed him their arse. Donovan was a product of the pop scene of the time. Nothing else. Otherwise I quite enjoyed it.
