Subject: RE: BBC 4 folk program
I have just turned off some spoof rubbish that followed at 11pm
Cant understnad how I stood it so long!

It is indicative how badly folk was served in the 60s and early seventies if those examples played tonight are the only ones.(or maybe we were so bad in reality?)

Peter Bellamy on the wall I spotted, but do we have Nick Jones, Tony Rose, Mike Harding? Nice to see Dick Gaughan but no songs yet from him!

Yes we have had a snatch of the Watersons from their B&W film, but what about the other lovely harmony groups (mainly acapella) and sense of spontaneous harmony which I particularly still love to hear.

well lets wait and see where they go?
