Thread Name: BBC4 folk - what would YOU do
Subject: RE: BBC4 folk - what would YOU do
'Fred Slagg's spoons epiphany of 1973' Wow, I'd vote for that!
What would be really good would be to see 'grass roots' performers, rather than just the current media darlings.
Trouble is, of course, we live now in a celebrity obsessed culture and that is pervading the folk world too. Glueman's idea is excellent, but the danger would be that the 'someone who's outside of vested interests' ends up falling into the same trap.
