Found this site while googling for more info on Bellowhead/Unthanks.

What to say? Ah yes. What a bunch of whingeing, carping and sniping arseholes you lot are! Clearly this site was named *after* you had all been posting for a while, else how could it have been labelled so accurately (imho).

I watched the Christmas Sessions show by accident (couldn't be arsed looking for the remote to change channels) and enjoyed much of what I saw/heard. The Unthanks were dodgy on their first song - crap harmonies through nerves I would have, charitably, thought - but 'Tar Barrel in Dale' was quite beautiful, as was their harmonising on Lisa Knapp's song.

Bellowhead's 'Mistletoe Bough' was excellent, and is the song that made me sit up and start paying attention to what was on TV. It made sense to me that everyone was in period costume, since many of the songs (I assumed) were rooted in the past (a bit like some of your attitudes to be perfectly frank). 'Jingle Bells' was crap, but then presumably that's what you had all been hoping for .... aye?

So this non-f*lkie (what's with the stars? Are you ashamed of the genre?) thought he'd have a look round for more info on some of the acts this morning and finds this forum; and a bunch of twallies seemingly intent on shooting themselves in the foot (feet? paws?) by sneering at a show which managed to get at least ONE person interested in your type of music.

Tragic.
