small festivals ...fylde, priddy, Wessex, gainsborough. not as good as folk clubs. but okay.
I don't mind concerts. its hard enough to get a good stage set up for one acoustic artist. sometimes - you get a great artist stifled by a rotten stage set up - Steve Tilston at Wimborne being a case in point. there were four other acts . no chance of getting it right.

people who can perform, present, understand, project folk music.

one of the best series on dvd was guitar maestros. great artists...wiz jones interviewed by Carthy. Martin Simpson, Carthy himself, Tilston. interviewed and created by Trevor Dann.

the beeb couldn't even dream of doing a folk programme of that quality.

that's what I like.
