Not the way that I hoped this thread would develop and I am rather saddened by the posts that take an aggressive and insulting stance. I thought that this subject that would raise discussion on a different way of presenting folk music. Personally, I found more to dislike than to enjoy in the Folk Prom approach but I thought that at least it was interesting.
We have people like Jim Bainbridge, Brian Peters, FreddyHeadedy and a couple of others being able to express their varied opinions without the recourse to the sort of insults and barbed comments that are tedious to read compared with straightforward exchanges of views.
