Subject: Whitby Folk Festival on Radio 2 From: GUEST,Malcolm Date: 01 Sep 16 - 04:24 AM A fantastic 'folk' on 2 last night featuring Whitby folk festival, with live performances and chat from stalwarts of the festival, the Wilson family and other guests - Steve Tilston, Dovetail Trio and a song from Marry Waterson in a church near Robin Hoods Bay. Well Done to Radio 2 and Smooth Operations. |

Subject: RE: Whitby Folk Festival on Radio 2 From: Steve Gardham Date: 01 Sep 16 - 09:42 AM I must agree. For once I listened to the whole show and enjoyed every performance. I normally get about 3 songs in and decide either their interpretation of what is folk music is far too wide for me, or am put off by the highly commercial superstars overproduced and insincere. |

Subject: RE: Whitby Folk Festival on Radio 2 From: peregrina Date: 01 Sep 16 - 10:31 AM Not to mention apppearances of Alistair Anderson with his concertina and Thomas McCarthy singing! Both always a delight and the presenter did us the extra favour of giving them time to talk thoughtfully about their music. |

Subject: RE: Whitby Folk Festival on Radio 2 From: GUEST,padgett Date: 01 Sep 16 - 12:56 PM Yes I listened too! Some extra songs here and there as inserts as I reckon for quality control ~ song from Gavin Davenport and Dave Burland with backing (who wasn't actually there) ~ however BBC programme gave a pretty fair account of the enthusiasm and all encompassing talent and grass roots involvement reflecting practice by all ~ singers, instrumentalists and morris and other dancers Ray (3 comments on here from Yorkshire Garland, must be a first!) |
