I think I must have entered a parallel universe, where folk music is presented on terrestrial TV without stupid or dismissive comments, where there is a well-made TV series (if the first is anything to go by) that takes the music and people seriously, and where the HMV ads in the break are for *folky* CDs. I think I like this universe. Eliza Carthy and Kate Rusby to come.

Also,great to see Ian Anderson looking well.Wonder if he still hops around on one leg and does he ever collide with the Fr editor?

Those ads were interesting: Karine Polwart,Neil&Kathryn getting the Big Label voice-over treatment(best of luck to them).Curious juxtaposition with Stained by your Main though.Just what was the admans picture of the target audience?

It may be repeated 'on demand' for cable TV viewers

It's interspersed with an awful lot of ads for new releases from Karine Polwart and Neill MacColl/Kathryn Williams. Still, makes a break from unremitting violin abuse.

There is a programme called My Music on Channel 5 TV this morning at 11am which features Seth and the influences on his music. Just off to watch it now. It might be on their website. Whether you like him or not, at least there is a TV programme about folk music, pity about the timing though.
