I didn't know it was called the Bellowhead Christmas show - i read 'Christmas Session' and since all the contributors were English it seemed like a fair analogy.
You're right though - there is no comparison.
I'm in my twenties so i'm not harking back to some golden age of "proper folk" - and i love English music. I just didn't rate this concert, while the musicianship on the Highland and Transatlantic Sessions is generally excellent, whether or not you appreciate the style.
