But Eve, that's the point, it wasn't by any means a solitary outing. On the Friday night there was Highland Sessions, the Dancing programme, and the archive programme, then on Saturday, more dancing and another archive. Both Bllowhead and Imagined Village have been on Later (did Damo do it too, can't remember now, but he/they will if not), so has KRusby. We've had the Transatlantic sessions, the Shanty Show, Folk Btitannia... This year we've done really well for folk TV, compared to years gone by when there was zip for whole decades at a time.
And like it or not, those people did earn their spot. Nothing succeeds like success and they were in the right place at the right time.
