Jeremy Summerly on Carols

I agree, jean, BUT did you notice how almost NONE of the folksong originals were played and then shown in their 'gentrified ' form?
Try Coope, Boyes and Simpson CDs to see what trad Christmas songs sounded like.

There's another week of it.

In passing, a congrat to the producer Tom Alban. Tricky subject, dauntingly huge resources to pick from, and I thought he struck an ideal balance between music and chat. We need to hear how styles develop and you can only do that by examples.

Just a damn shame the prog wasn't on Radio 3!!!!!!

Agreed entirely. I've now heard it all and thought it an ideal blend of scholarship, entertainment and illustration.
