Folknacious Sting on BBC TV (57* d) RE: Sting on BBC TV 31 Dec 09


I think most of the musicians got a verbal credit at some point, if you were paying attention. You could certainly hear Sting give a namecheck to Amy Thatcher at the end of her clog dance.

It was an excellent programme. Yes, Sting's singing is a bit daft but his fans obviously like it to buy all the records he's sold and his heart's obviously in the right place - so it can have done nothing but good for all the participants, the folkies in general and the Tickells in particular.

You have to remember that mainstream TV programmes are made for the mainstream TV audience, not us weirdos. The non-folkies I know (like my mum) who watch these things see them in a different way to us - she greatly enjoyed the Bellowhead Christmas Show too, precisely because it was different, interesting, entertaining, done by clearly talented people and she doesn't have any axes to grind or offences to choose to take.
