Well, the subheadline comes from a headline writer (and we all know those folks don't read the articles).

The article (I haven't watched the video) looks pretty good to me. I was trying to find one of the recent threads about the place of politics in folk performance to put a link to this... this thread title is pretty non-descript, for those who might have an interest in the topic (speaking of headlines...).

A clip to introduce the article:

"This week, Carthy will be one of the headliners at An Evening of Political Song, a likely highlight of Richard Thompson's Meltdown festival. Another is Tom Robinson, erstwhile pop star and now a 6 Music DJ. Only nine years separate them – Carthy just turned 69, while Robinson recently put together a rare concert to mark his 60th birthday – but they represent entirely different eras. Carthy made his name in the early 1960s folk scene, his interpretations of ancient melodies influencing the likes of Bob Dylan and Paul Simon. Robinson, a late bloomer, was one of the most politicised voices of the punk era, recording the landmark song Glad to Be Gay and leading the charge in Rock Against Racism. But as they sit down together, each clutching an acoustic guitar, they have much to talk about."

(I've made the link to the Meltdown Festival more direct.)
