GUEST,Allen Woodpecker BBC4 Cambridge Folk Festival (28) RE: BBC4 Cambridge Folk Festival 21 Aug 02


Ralphie. No worries, man. DigiTV is mostly crap anyway. The word "folk" is truly wondrous. It can mean precisely anything, or precisely nothing. Because of this, the Cambridge "Folk" Festival, like any festival, can book practically anyone they think people will pay to see (within reason - Marilyn Manson at Sidmouth, anyone?). And why the hell not? There's plenty of room in this ol' world for everyone's music. I defy anyone to dig every act at ANY festival - because folk music is challenging and meaningful, people get passionate about it - you can't please all the people all of the time. This is the beauty of the genre. Only bland stuff has mass appeal. Thank (insert deity of choice) we can all think for ourselves. A.W.
