GUEST,wordy BBC 4 - 'European Roots' (30) RE: BBC 4 - 'European Roots' 28 Oct 07

Wordy just wants to deny that the English have a folk tradition.

Absolutely not Richard. let me explain. Recently I was in a bookshop and the assistant was playing a Kate Rusby album. After browsing books and hearing three tracks I started to twitch, desperate for some passion or life in the singing and playing, but it plodded on and on until I was so wound up I had to leave the shop.
Then I saw the Fado programme and the Brel programme and was inspired again with the passion for the power of song and performance that first moved me many years ago.
Shirley Collins has a lot to answer for! (lol)
