Subject: RE: Folk Prom on BBC radio & TV tonight
It was on in the living room but I didn't hear anything that really enticed me to settle there so just wandered in and out and only caught bits and pieces.

For me, the best bit I heard was Julie Fowlis doing something a little more up beat.

I didn't enjoy the orchestration which I felt took the music in other directions such as "Celtic".

Overall, I suppose with the snippets I heard, rather than being disappointed I guess it turns out more a sort of standard fare I might have expected - I didn't have high hopes, though maybe some would say that starts me off with a particular listening bias.

Oh well, each to their own I suppose and this thread does show some differing opinions...
