To make comparisons between this concert and the Transatlantic or Highland Sessions is nonsense. This was an evening of Christmas songs, and, as such, not at all representative of English folk music. A genuine 'English Session', drawing on the best vocal and instrumental talent, and allowing the singers and musicians to choose their own material from the English tradition would more than hold its own with the Transatlantic and Highland sessions, but of course, the BBC would never contemplate commissioning such programmes.
