What annoyed me most about the last "show" was the way it was produced..like a rock concert.
Folk doesn't sit well in this type of setting and the performers looked nervous and uncomfortable.
Some of the performances proved why folk music has lost it's way and lost the hearts of the wider public.

The older singers like Carthy and Gaughan have lost the "spirit"
Men of their time, now Dinosaurs.

One bright shining light...wee Karine Polwart....Her voice and delivery would have made Ewan proud .   Singing the "Moving on song" in the traditional manner ...lovely ..Ake
