If concerned punters are enthusiasts for the artists featured and thought the production let them down, fair enough. What's often the case with criticism is the person doesn't like the performer and the performance and trimmings are a stick to beat the same old drum. As an outsider the show looked like fun and was a chance to see top ticket festival artists in one place doing their thing. I can't argue with Eliza's take on events but I wasn't unduly exercised by stripy tights or funny hats. Her mum and dad would have brought gravitas, as well as a rounder perspective on English folk music and it's a shame they and she weren't on, party hats or not. I don't remember this much fuss when it was first aired?
