Subject: RE: Bert Jansch - UK TV (BBC4) tonight
Well I blooming well enjoyed all of it, so there. Breezy got it right - obviously supposed to be a reflection of an evening at the Cousins, Scots Hoose, Troubadour etc. Complete with wagon wheel on the wall.

It's odd isn't it - how reactions to programmes can be polarised. I only watched the first 5 minutes and then wasn't beguiled enough to bother with any more. So my opinion has little real value.

However, I was at an open mic last night and somebody called out, "Anyone see the Bert Jansch programme the other night?" There was a general murmur of derision and remarks like, "Terrible", "Bloody awful", "What a waste", etc. I don't think I heard a single positive comment about it from the assembled musos.

Just shows you how tastes can vary.
