I see you didn't bother to read my initial reply about how musicians take what they want, leave what they don't, and make it their own. Music (especially in sessions) is actually very democratic and always has been.

What is this 'whole channel' at he BBC 'devoted to classical music'? You are surely not talking about R3? Why exactly then are all these so-called 'Friends' constantly whingeing about how much world and trad is in the schedules?

A tad racist too. There shouldn't be 1Xtra because not many people are black? Where ever do you live FFS? And who said you need to be a particular colour to listen to it?

'Classical' music is simply one segment in the timeline of musical history. What this series intends to include is a great deal more. Maybe you won't like all of it. I probably won't either. But I intend to learn about musics about which I don't know enough and possibly change my mind about some.
