Thread Name: BBC 4 folk program
Subject: RE: BBC 4 folk program
Such a pity that all the good sense talked by younger performers like Kathryn Tickell, Eliza Carthy, Jon Boden and John Spires was undone by Jim Moray's "it's all right as long as Martin Carthy says so" bollocks(are they now going to malign Carthy as they did MacColl?)
Also since the programme focused so heavily on the youngsters making their way on the folk scene why no mention of "Folkworks" or the Degree Course at Newcastle University?
Nice to see Burl geting a spot though.
