Thread Name: Show of Hands - Roots - what a track!
Subject: RE: Show of Hands - Roots - what a track!
On this link to the BBC Music Club board you can listen to some links to Steve's interview on Radio 4 last Monday, but they'll disappear after this week. Message 2 from Keith.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/dna/mbradio2/F4387184?thread=3146306

The interview is taking place on Farming Today and another programme, as 'Country Life' has been used as the soundtrack to a new film about er..country life! This was shown to our all wondrous MP's last Monday....you know...those great guys who care so passionately about us all and our countryside! ;0)

Details are in the thread, links to articles too.

And you'll see there the usual rubbish about me daring to write about Show of Hands on a BBC board where it actually says that you can write about music that you are 'passionate' about! Well...I did...and they hanging, drawing and quatering me....as always.

However, I was able to start threads on Richard Thompson and Yusuf Islam?Cat Stevens and no one batted an eye lid. I started one on The Oysterband as well, no-one passed any comment, but it was later mysteriously removed!

Why do you keep coming up against such outrage over Show of Hands? Part of me thinks it's wonderful mind! To be able to enrage people like that, merely at the mention of their name...well..it says that they are daring to touch more than a few consciences and getting it right!

Well, I'm off to tell them all about someone else now....Oh...and if anyone feels like visiting the new Radio 2 (er...fun) Music Club and going on the Show of Hands thread, which now has no title or first post from me as the ********'s got it taken off...please feel free! ;0) And I started it because Johnnie Walker has now played two of their songs over the last few weeks and is starting to rave about them a bit...he'll soon be like the rest of us, no worries! ;0)

Mind you...I'm already on Pre-Mod over there, which means that every word I write is checked and re-checked before it's allowed on....and then...they remove it!!

Oh...the trials of a Show of Hands fan! ;0)
