Thread Name: should the BBC folk awards be scrapped
Subject: RE: should the BBC folk awards be scrapped
Sorry Dick you should really stop digging.
If you want more In Depth representation of traditional music. You pay for it. Sure as hell no broadcasting organisation will do it. Not in England anyway. (Maybe Ireland is different).
Of course the Folk awards should stay. Just because you and I don't feature, doesn't make them a bad thing.
It's a minority interest, always has been, always will be.
How many people have contributed to this (and similar) threads...25? 30? 35? 40?
How many people watch Strictly Come Dancing? 5 or 6 million?
Which one is going to get the funding?
I rest my case.
