BBC 1 announcement this evening went, I swear, something like this - "Competing tonight on The Voice - a former folk song star who has now turned to music."

Got to laugh, I suppose.

That is just the kind of biased ignorance that we have learned to expect from the BBC.

Don't know, Richard. I don't like pop music so I don't follow the show.

Kind of lke the night they called the cops about an unruly guest. The cop asked the guy behind the bar "Are you just a bartender or do you have a real job?"

I think it might be Sally Barker. Or Bob Dylan.

Well no, Squeezer, I don't think you heard that. You have probably missed a word in front of the word 'music.'

Just as pertinent, I suppose. Who is this "former folk song STAR"??

I think Ed is correct- see this earlier thread: Folkies on 'The Voice'
