I thought June Tabor's 2 songs were the best I'd heard from her - mostly free from her usual affectations - just really well sung. It also made me realise just how unsuited to a 'trained' voice trad folk music is - the difference between the 'classically sung Shallow Brown and Tabor's version was telling

I was fortunate to see Liam O'Flynn perform The Piper's Call in the 1999 Proms season. This was, I believe, the first performance at the Proms by a traditional folk musician.

"Late Junction also includes folk music. On Wednesday 20 July, there will be a set from Spiers & Boden, as well as sets from Moulettes and Kate Tempest."

And those silly people at Late Junction call Moulettes a "chamber-folk" outfit. I thought we'd established that Moulettes have nothing to do with folk music ;-)

(Listen again to the Moulettes' set at http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/console/b012lm62 starting at 46 mins if you want to avoid the ambient-techno-grime of Spiers & Boden)

It's spelt 'Routes' on the listings. Odd, as Roots would seem more accurate!

Peter Bellamy saw it all. He christened them "The Northern Wilsonia - a vocal orchestra" and now here they are, actually sharing the stage with the Northern Sinfonia.

They come from Billingham - and the BBC is billing'em above the Northern Synfonia! Their local football team has a unique name too, Billingham Synthonia.
