Thread Name: media coverage of Folk Music
Subject: RE: media coverage of Folk Music
Heloo, = I rarely start serious threads here, reason is, i know very littele about folk music, but= this id a serious thread, and 1 thing thast pisses me off [i'm serious now, =no joking], folk music gets almost no airplay at all, ok= 1 hour on bbc 4 [waht most people cant get anyway] about galstonburry, yeah, rihght, greaght, waht a big commitment to folk music then!

and anyway=i dont meean to argue with mgrath of harlow, as i talkked to him threw pm, and i reckon he,s ok.
and i been in the army, and so did bIlly Bragg.

but i dont know waht he means by saying " too mutch publicity is no good for fplk eyc, etc, [or wahgtever he sayid]"

anyway= in my opimion, more folk on telly and radio, = more people getb imntrested in irt.john

ps=radio etc is shit, anbd they just play stuiff wahtg is in the charts, and wehn did you ever heare kate rusby on radio 1?

that proves it, radio 1 is suppoosed to be for young people, but thryu play rhe same shit, day in , day out, .john
