Thread Name: Midsomer Murders does Folk Music
Subject: Midsomer Murders does Folk Music
Just watched a repeat of the 2015 Midsomer Murders episode set at a folk festival, "The Ballad of Midsomer County", alternatively slightly cringe-worthy and oddly interesting - with a specially composed folk song of the same name performed by Lucie Jones & Seth Lakeman which I actually enjoyed... does not seem to have been discussed previously on mudcat, unless I am missing something. Official plot summary is "Could a ballad made famous by late, lamented folk singer Johnny Carver be an inspiration for murder? Did someone want to kill Toby Winning for threatening to take the Little Crosby Folk Festival away from Midsomer - or is the true motive something hidden for 20 years?"

That folk music subculture is a dangerous place, it seems.

Any thoughts/reactions by our viewers?...
