Subject: RE: Cornish Shanty group on BBC news today
I was listening to the Today programme this morning (as always) when in the car. I was disappointed at the childish giggling of Evan Davis (I think it was Evan) at the end of the audio clip of them singing.

I always listen to the Today programme as its the best in its class, but they do let themselves down sometimes, it was like listening to school children.

I know folkies are used to it, and it doesn't bother me significantly, I just find it 'disappointing' when presenters on the flagship programme that I look to for my day's news and current afairs behave in this way.

I am glad (and not surprised) that they have received a good mention from Radcliffe and Marconie. Top blokes.

Great news for the fellas, congratulations!
