Recently, there's (almost) been more Folk Music than you can shake your stick at!. Last night I had to shuttle beween BBC ALBA showing an hour of an excellent BLAS concert featuring the Chieftains (sans Matt Molloy!) and Maddy Prior (with Tim Hart!!) on thye Electric Proms. Is it the beginning of the third revival or do I need a television repair man?! |

From: GUEST,Mr Red Nah- there are more channels than viewers so they have to fill the time with something, and archive is cheap, and repeats as cheap. Don't be a grouch, stop complaining - bask in the moment - it will pass when they give in and have to justify the airtime so it will be wall to wall football. Come to think of it, my wall is more interesting............... |

25 Oct 08 - 09:25 AM (#2475780) Subject: RE: What's happening to my telly? From: Compton Blas was almost (2008?) archive but I don't think Maddy Prior (Electric Proms-repeated 12.30am BBC4)) is very archive....then my tele also picked up Eliza Carthy and a documentry on the Chieftains! Whatever is going on? There'll be a regular folk programme on next...or is that being really silly? |

Couldn't understand the Gaelic ~ or Deante or similar Maddy Prior from Cecil Sharp house, seen on cable play back and on BBC eye, some slight differences of content was Oct 23rd I think so up to date Chieftains repeat! Keep it up and Legends of Folk seems to have been edited out of the advert! Ray |

From: GUEST,Dave P When a young girl sang an excellent unaccompanied version of 'Dimming of the Day' Louis, the other tw*t, asked "what was that song, was it some sort of spiritual"? Obviously never heard anything outside of the narrow boy / girl band repertoire |
