GUEST,Lizzie, thinking about it again... Heads up - BBC4 tonight Christmas Folk (173* d) RE: Heads up - BBC4 tonight Christmas Folk 18 Dec 09


To be honest, Ralph....the vast majority of the peoplel who've written in here love traditional folk music, but seem to be bitterly disappointed at what was presented last night. I still haven't seen it, therefore I can't yet comment, but surely the message, whether you like it or not, is coming through loud and clear.

You know, as well as we all do, that the folk scene is thriving with hundreds, if not thousands, of deeply talented musicians, singers and dancers, many of whom hold audiences spellbound.

That didn't seem to happen in this show, and I think that's very sad indeed, because to have such a wonderful opportunity...and blow it...is a really bad move.

When I've watched it, I'll comment on it..
