The BBC Web Site as a whole is a tremendous resource, but the newcomers such as the Folk & Acoustic section should earn their stripes before singing their own praises.

Presumably Colin Irwin can't write more than one artist bio per week, but he seems to have not prioritised - where is Cyril Tawney, the late Peter Bellamy, Anne Briggs, Jo Freya, Vikki Clayton, The Kerrs to name a few rather significant (and mostly very active) performers ?

Yes, the Shockwave/Flash virtual session is nifty, though I couldn't see how to make the players talk about what inspired them.

Let's hope the author of the web site is reading this thread.
