Subject: RE: New Folk Programme in Manchester 2
Hi Paul G,

Glad you're goin to carry on listening, i'm sure you'll eventually get more good vibes from the programme than bad. As for 'gods own country', i think this is always said with the proverbial tongue-in-cheek (certainly by Lancy folk!). Somtimes it's bin referred to as 'Saddlewet' for good reason.

There's lots of debate goes on about folk music presentation and definition i.e. clubs v sessions, trad v contempory, cliquishnes etc but sometimes its healthy to take a step back and just enjoy the music/song and dance!
