Saw that it was amazing!!!

Found it Jackson.. BBC4

Norah Jones

It`s been a great night on BBC4.
Lots of folk (back as far as Dylan and Joan Baez, the Seegers...)
Some interesting history.
Lots of good music (including some country.)
Good stuff.

Johnny Cash now.

Is it that Folk America series?...I watched that before when it was on a few months back...I really enjoyed it.

some of it was a bit wind chimes heynonnynnny, most of it was good though.

I don't understand folk music. Surely all music is folk music?

Like techno is Detroit folk, bleep is Sheffield folk, psychedelia was San Fran folk, baggy was Manchester folk etc etc etc. Innit?

Quite.

Just seems a bit of snobbery attached to it - it's somehow more authentic. Like the twats who nob on about "real" ininstruments. Newsflash: compared to our cavemen ancestors whacking out rhythms on rocks and mammoth's heads, there's sod all real about an acoustic guitar or a violin.

I'm going to the local folk festival next weekend.It has steam trains and real beer so must be authentic
