GUEST,Nick Dow What is Happening to our Folk Clubs (1104* d) RE: What is Happening to our Folk Clubs 29 Oct 17


Thinking further about a DVD. The problem from a Video/TV point of view is that straight singing is not visual. It's OK if you are jumping round the stage with a guitar like a demented baboon, but maybe this is why we don't see so much Folk on the TV. That said the Doc. about Sara Makem was wonderful, however I doubt weather the equally important film of Walter Pardon and his friends in song ever made it to the screen. There were a few tech. problems with that production but nothing that could not be ironed out in an hour or so. Bert made it to TV more than a few times but was never an interesting presenter. Sorry about that but I worked as a presenter for the Beeb for 32 years so I feel justified in that remark. Maybe I'm barking up the wrong tree?
