Well why did the early transatlantic sessions feel so real and not over produced?

True the camera cannot catch what one catches in personal attendance. I have videoed simple things like school concerts and nuances are lost and atmosphere so different on tape from the actual experience.

So yeah it has to be a real bear to do.

Maybe I missed the jollier songs as I did come in late but to me some of it was X factorish. Just because some decent musicians decided to co-opt trad songs into popped up versions doesn't mean it is for everyone.

The bit about folk so few of you seem to grasp is that it's for everybody. And it's for everybody to do with what they will. It's clearly galling that the BBC4 show happened without your permission. But you put yourself in this ghetto. You only have yourselves to blame that it's not to your liking.,

Blame myself for my own taste? Why? Am I not permitted to have an opinion, just because they managed to get onto telly? Dear god no wonder there is much dross on TV. No one is allowed to criticise it.

That explains the long run of Big Brother House and Celebrity Get a Life shows.
