Thread Name: Organic food/Organic Folk
Subject: RE: Organic food/Organic Folk
Don't know if anyone heard the Radio 4 "The Saving of Ford Hall Farm" that opened the thread? Not much of ourmusic got through onto the programme, just a bit of barn-dancy background, but a very interesting look at a heart-warming story. Folk puts you in funny places...the music took me to two bright young kids running an organic farm in Shropshire, and the same music led me tonight to a planning session about working with urban black rappers in Liverpool for City of Culture stuff. That, I strongly believe, is the thing about real folk music. It is the WD40 of music, it can penetrate just where you want to get to.
