Come to think of it -t wouldn't be a bad starting point.

Start with people capable of doing a club gig. Not a festival gig - 45 minutes of jigsand reels to a field full of the half pissed.

Bernard Wrigley - has he ever done an hour special on telly. you could a technical wizard on for ten minutes - for folk music with real substance - Anydy Cutting or Ken Nicol. More than that just is too much for a general audience. Accrington Stanley to lighten the mood. a couple from a songwriter like Alan taylor.

the talents there alright, but BBC execs won't find out about it reading bullshit from record companies - you have to go out there and experience it.
