How I agree with the last three comments - I couldn't even see the Celtic Connection (never mind the Folk), for most of the content, but the gems were there and the fact that some very young and some older musicians contributed to these gems was a good sign for the health of the folk music tradition.

Perhaps the programme compilers biased the choice of items towards what they felt would be more acceptable to a general TV audience.

At least there there was some of our music on the box, for a change. That must be a GOOD THING!!!
