Subject: RE: BBC 4 folk program
Bit of a pity, given the "Albion" theme, that the only real head of steam was developed when a bit of Ory-style tailgate trombone kicked in, and mum-and-daughter gave it some. Some great singing all around, but a bit worthy I thought. I know lots of daughters of Albion, and some of the time they have fun and laugh and sing uptempo songs, but that side of things didn't get much of a lookin.Doesn't always work when folkies try to reinvent classical music. Tabor hamming up Lili Marlene was excellent, and the "May Bradley goes to New Orleans" always works a treat.
