Stanron Folk Prom on BBC radio & TV tonight (112* d) RE: Folk Prom on BBC radio & TV tonight 03 Aug 18


I could have done with a lot more of the Irish bloke singing and playing the flute and Irish pipes, without accompaniment. I'm not a fan of invented Welsh trad. The two presenters, worthy in their own right no doubt, but who let the orchestra in there? Big mistake. The Unthanks can do no wrong. You may not like them, I don't always like them, but they are the thinking folkies folk. Until you are sure you can do better keep shtum.

Whatever happened to English instrumental music. It exists but you wouldn't think so from this program. Still it's got to be better than just about everything else that was on TV tonight. I'd like to see something like it again but without the orchestra.
