Subject: RE: BBC 4 Sea songs and Shanties
Having missed this programme last year I was delighted to catch up with it. I thought it was excellent and so did the the OH who is not a dyed-in-the-wool folk fan.We felt that the harmonies and diverse voices of the northern groups were superior to the more famous Fishermens Friends, but then we're both Tykes. I could certainly handle a follow-up, although a programme commissioner reading some of the comments on here might well feel inclined to just say 'folk it'.
