You can't lay all the blame with the artists - its the producer and director that should be shot and all the rest of the people whose names appeared in the credits.

Think Nutty may have something there. This show didn't feel like a real folk concert/session.   At least not like the ones I attend in Kent, UK, which are (for want of a better term) organic... natural.

I have seen Bellowhead on youtube and what I have seen was unrelentingly fun. Concerts of theirs I would seek to attend at festivals.

I have also heard the UnThanks do better. I think possibly the wrong people were making decisions and it may have put some of the performers in not best performing state.

Also let's not forget that everyone has unique taste. I am clutching now to my hard earned old fogeyness.

I loved the Sloe Gin set too.
