  Watched the show on Monday after hearing the Chieftans on Radio 2 Simon Mayo show were they played with Secret Sisters and sounded amazing . However on the TV show the sound was awful no bass flat and lifeless and this was for all the acts. There are now so few music shows on British TV why do they spoil them with awful sound .

  I remember a few years back watching Edwin Starr on JH's hootenanny and it was fantastic. The mix and arrangement was spot on. Maybe standards have slipped.
  
  I think living in the mult-channel age with so many specific music genre channels to choose from, Later is viewd as something of an anachronis these days. I can't think of a single music show on terrestrial tv at the moment, other than the above mentioned.
  
  It's a shame really. I've watched old band performances on YouTube from Whistle Test and the like and I can't think of a show that would cover so many genres of music. These days you have dedicated channels catering to every market. Whatever happened to the idea of eclecticism?

  The problem is also that most of the music channels are just showing rotation videos and not as they do with Later have a proper live show showing real live bands. The fact that there is not other show like this is what annoys me so much when they can not get something as basic as the sound right.

  True. The human element is lost. Personally, i don't think music's been right since John Peel died. You might want to check out BBC Six Music. They have a fresh and lively attitude to music but it's not dumbed-down.
