Thread Name: Folk gets surprise boost on BBC TV
Subject: RE: Folk gets surprise boost on BBC TV
This thread's about a high-profile English celeb sticking an occasional toe a little way into something that's occasionally (and temporarily) just a bit fashionable in popland. Something like Sting or Stephen Fry - that sort of thing. Not even tangentially important, in the scale of things.

Nerdy Stevie's been on Mudcat for a whole two years longer than I have, so we've really got to be a bit deferential, especially considering all those exams he's totted up. Good grief, he must be WAV or at least closely related. How many out of 10 did you get for forklift driving, Stevie?

I joined Mudcat five or so years ago in order to speak out for a young performer that the usual GEFFs were putting the boot into, an activity I consider a lot more worthwhile than the current thread which is about nothing at all, really (barring the confectionery industry). However, look where Jim Moray is now . . . I checked on Stevie's first post and jeez, he's threatening to buy up the Leader/Trailer catalogue when he wins the lottery. May the various deities protect us from that. Isn't it bad enough that the shambolic goblin of Harrogate has the rights to this glorious, hidden music. Imagine them locked up in the Nerdy Polytechnic Library, wherever it is Over There, instead. Shouldn't, mustn't be allowed.
