It was a good programme, although I must admit I think I'd have found it more interesting if the whole thing had been presented by Cohen B-K. It was the first time I've heard him speaking about being mixed race. He's the only black professional traditional folk performer I'm aware of in England. The aspects of the programme that were meaningful and engaging for me were those personal testimonies from him and the presenter. The parts about 'Albion', which used words like 'spiritual' a lot, were much less substantial in my opinion. But I'll be listening to the rest of the series
