I have been thinking. Perhaps there is no hope if presenting the proms on TV (even if it is only BBC4) is thought in BBC circles to be promotion, from presenting roots and folk music on Radio 3? How long will it be before young Verity forgets about expressing dangerous views like enjoying and even taking part in English traditional music sessions.

The BBC4 TV coverage of the proms is good. Apart from the BBC's obsession with getting as many presenters in as possible, as if the music was less important. They just show the whole piece of music.

Now if only this could set the pattern for their coverage of other forms of music. The Cambridge Festival coverage is a joke. You have lots of presenters and lots of interviews but only snippets of music from selected acts all squeezed into a 30 minutes show and none of it live.

I look forward to a Festival being staged, consisting entirely of presenters, presenting each other and of the BBC coverage of this event. Hold on a minute - I am describing the BBC's coverage of Glastonbury!
