Thread Name: Phil Cunningham - 'Scotland's Music'-
Subject: RE: Phil Cunningham - 'Scotland's Music'-
This was a series well worth making and watching and I will watch any more that, hopefully, get made. But. Having watched them all, some of them several times, I would have liked a control button to mute Phill Cunningham's talking over the singers and players' performances. Little enough of Rod Patterson, Geordie McIntyre, Gordina McCulloch, Cathy Ann McPhee, and the other assembled cast of "Scotland's Music" including Natalie and Buddy MacMaster, is to be heard on TV as it is, so I would have liked to have heard what there was free of comment. Let us hope that this series is only the first of many future like minded programs to come. I have fond memories of an other program linked with Phill Cunningham, called Tall A Balla. Which was the best TV presentation of Traditional based music that I can rember.
