You seem to have missed the obvious:

Well then, it's quite obvious Martin Carthy is not folk, he's had an earing for years, and harmonised and ..and..I can't say it..*gulp*.. plays chords!

I hope I heard it correctly. The news item was towards the end of tonight's PM and was about the variety of music to be heard at the Bath Festival.

In it Bellowhead were described as the "bad boys" of folk!! (Nigel Wrench) I am sure Rachel McShane was delighted!

Good old BBC.
