Despite earlier misgivings MR is giving the music a mainstream platform that I for one was not expecting. A couple of songs from
Karine's session was repeated on Jeremy Vine and surprisingly Steve Wright. Anyone would think I listened to the radio all day (and they'd be right)
I agree with Geoff I would also like MR to calm down a bit, but over all it bodes well for the future. Carthy on desert island discs as well! We used to dream about this amount of mainstream interest years ago. I had a huge compliment from Jim Moray when he recorded a Traditional song he learned from me, and I might add made a much better job of it, so despite Karine's excellent session I've got to cheer for him in the forthcoming awards! All exciting stuff for the music we love.
