Last week, belatedly, came across the Folk Britannia thing on BBC Four. Was v.good and enjoyed the documentary, although realised I would have liked to have seen the earlier bits. Last night they had a concert on as part of the series and it was v.good indeed, and extracts the BBC have put extracts on line here .
During the concert there was a song which I really enjoyed which I don't know and was wondering if anybody could help me identify, and so I could possibly get myself a copy. The chorus bit went "be realistic, demand the impossible" and I'm guessing by the theme of the programme it was probably by Woody Guthrie or Ewan McColl. Anybody know what I'm waffling on about please advise.
Also in course of me muddling around the internet, on this topic, I have found out that the Wychwoodfestival looks like it is going to be majorly wonderful. For those unaware this is the "other" festival that is held in Cheltenham, at the beginning of June.
