Hello Ducklings!!
When the Carthy concert was shown last year (c/w a documentary about his life) It prompted one of the biggest reactions (Positive!) that BBC4 has had. I presume that this is why they repeated the prog.
It's not yet going to be a regular event, as far as I know...but why not fire off some E Mails to the BBC thanking them for at least starting to do something?
I'm sure that there is a wealth of documentary material lying on various shelves out there, which would be of interest. (And incidentally, probably cheap!)
Of course, all of these programmes should be on BBC2 so that the majority of viewers can watch them, but as I've said many times before...It's a start, and an improvement on Fame Academy!!
Also, keep listening to Late Junction, Andy Kershaw, and World Routes on Radio 3, and Folk on 2 on Radio 2.
Even R4 did its bit over Christmas with Georgina Boyes prog about the Sheffield Carols.
I'm actually quite optimistic about Music programming on the BBC. And any helpful suggestions would be a good thing.
So, get those E Mails in..!!
