Subject: RE: Radio Britfolk Addiction for 2006
Sorry to disappoint you Stevie, but I couldn't get my guests to leave the warmth of the fireside last night and venture out into the pouring rain and wind(spoilsports!) so I'm still here! ;0) However, as we can see the sea from our house, I did manage to wave merrily to John's sister over in Exmouth and wish her a Happy New Year..so there you go....mission accomplished!

Anyway..they've all gone home now, so I'm listening to 'Forgotten Carols' again, didn't quite make it to the end last time...and someone mentioned on the 'Yorkshire Dales Forgotten Carols' thread that there are some intersting 'bits' at the end of this programme. AND there is a lady singing on here who has the MOST stunning voice!! I don't know who she is though...and bearing in mind that this choir only had two rehearsals before this recording, well...it's quite amazing and very impressive! Love all the stories in between as well, especially the bit where Mary breaks her news to Joseph...

And yes Richard...I agree. I think that Britfolk is doing something extremely useful for folk music and musicians, quite unique in fact! I also didn't realise that you could put your own music on there until someone mentioned it above.

(Don't panic though Stevie, I don't sing so you're saved!!) ;0)
