Not as good as a folk club though - or a small festival. you gotta face it, the BBC are a long way adrift from us lot. they're sort of on another planet.......Those concerts with Kate Rusby were a bit of a dog's breakfast as well.

the best thing on dvd I've seen recently is Guitar Maestros series - theres real intimacy in that series. That video of SOH's gig at the Albert Hall wasn't bad either - it was quite matey.

This thing of just taking a video camera , or even a film team to a gig - well it doesn't really work, does it?.. I can't really explain why. I think we neeed more skilled film makers to capture what folkmusicicians actually do.
