good programme ,but whoever was singing Manchester Rambler, did not have the balance correct between voice and instruments, be able to hear the words clearly is more important than anything else

to be fair getting balance right outside doing a field recording is more difficult than in a studio. but congratulations to all involved an interesting programme
