Nice little interview, with a couple of amusing Peggy anecdotes, and which hopefully gets Dave some sales, but nothing really very imaginative in the questionning...I'm afraid Harding really annoys me, and this was nothing new. The programme was also memorable for stopping in it's tracks my latent interest in Steeleye which had been fuelled by the discussion elsewhere on here...that version of Padstow (from Tempted and Tried I believe) was quite possibly the most awful thing I've heard in aeons....  |

It was that Cara Dillon thing that put me off...is she really a folk/roots artist? Sounded more like archetypal M.O.R. to me  |

Listening to it now on tape as I was out at a service at school, so dad recorded it for me. Love the double bass anecdote!

Don't let Padstow put you off , there's plenty better than that, although I quite like it myself, especially the accapella bit in the middle. I thought the Peggy interview was a good laugh, but too short , as usual with these Mike Harding things. Geoff |

I reckon people are a bit hard on Mike Harding's prog. I'm sure he wishes he had more airtime where he could have extended inteviews and play as wide a variety of music as possible (for me, Kane,Welch & Kaplin and Dòchas were the highlights of the show tonight). He's at the behest of the Beeb, so if anyone should get it in the neck it's good old Aunty.

Yes, I'm sure you're right. MH has his own style, but I expect he is in a "production straight jacket" as far as interviews and material are concerned. I sometimes listen to Genevieve Tudor's folk programme on BBC Shropshire, longer features ( I think it's a two hour programme ) but it sounds much less slick, and wouldn't attract the same calibre of guests. geoff |

I swear my memory is shot. All day I'm thinking "must remember, Peggy tonight", but as soon as I get home, it's like somebody switches off my valves or something.  Jules |

Though I do appreciate what Mr Harding does, I'd much prefer Billy Connolly.

Personally, I'd prefer a radio presenter. |

Although I think Connolly is the funniest man I've ever heard/seen, half of the licence fee already goes on Jonathon Ross's salary, Connolly would demand the rest of it, so it's probably a no go. Harding is almost forced to play what he does because Kate Rushby and Seth Lakeman sell buckloads (for the folk world) and so he keeps with the populist playlist. I've not listened to Verity Sharp's prog. for a while, is that still good? |
