A tad OT, but on BBC R4 right now there's a piece about music journalism.

This was was preceded by Sandi Toksvig's holiday prog about festivals, featuring the Rainforest World Music Festival currently in progess in Borneo and Festival In The Desert with clips of Malian Tuareg, all without mindless ridicule, as has in the past been R4's Saturday a.m. wont.

To the replayer then, all ye who think of trad as inane 'entertainment' divorced from real life and expect touring bands to pander to their (lack of) taste.

And to Banda Celtamericana, don't be intimidated. Play the real thing and educate the masses.
