Thread Name: BBC 4 Sea songs and Shanties
Subject: RE: BBC 4 Sea songs and Shanties
Well, from two died-in-the wool folkies we enjoyed it (and no-one would describe either of us as a lover of sea shanties). One can't expect the BBC to get a specialist subject completely right so I think we should stop being so critical and be grateful it was shown at all. Any airing of our folk traditions has to be a good thing.
