thanks for the contribution 'enjoy it' but is it that simple ?
I may be a bit long in the tooth but television has been around for fifty years and folk music for thousands of years. to suppose that this crumb off the table tucked away on beeb4 marks a movement towards greater recognition of our preferred music has to be wishful thinking
the optimists amongst us have viewed every short snippet as a 'step in the right direction' for decades and yet in your own words 'previously we didn't have anything'
come and join us cynics - it can be fun pontificating from the safety of your own living room and like me you don't have to have any musical talent at all !!!
