Tend to agree with both Jo[h]n's - BBC has the potential of looking better, but there is more $$$ behind it. The people behind "folking" are probably more dedicated to folk and I think they've done a good job. It will probably have more reference to the talented, but not-big-name acts than the Beeb.

I think John J's comment "Are the beeb giving us the site the think we need to have, while folking.com and the mudcat ARE what we want?" makes a good point.

Will carry on looking at both though.

And showing my age - last folk show I remeber was Folk on 2 with Fairport tune (from Angel Delight?) as the theme.

Cheers
