I'd say don't let them wind you up pfr - but it's too late

They're not worth it!

I enjoyed the programme but thought the Dylan connection was somewhat irrelevant and over laboured - where were the amazing Scottish folk rock bands such as Runrig, Skippinish, Skerryvore - or indeed the electronica of Martyn Bennett or Niteworks - surely more relevant to Scottish music today than the tenuous links between Rabbie and Dylan?
Having said all that I'm looking forward to the next one - though I still find it hard to forgive the omission of Runrig - like talking about English folk without Fairport or Steeleye Span
