Last year they missed the postponement message and turned up to commentate on an empty Moseley Private Park. This year The Commentators got the ‘It’s On!’ message and will be at the same venue on 3rd & 4th September to bring live commentary of the Moseley Folk and Arts Festival to people attending the Moseley Folk and Arts Festival, plus people around the world tuned into the live stream.
For those new to their peculiarities – The Commentators were once regulars on Match Of The Day. Now, as sheepskin has been replaced by goretex, so The Commentators have been replaced by less natural fibres. With no glamour sporting gigs coming in they have been forced to deploy thier niche skills on non-sporting gigs, such as Folk & Arts Festivals. Unfortunately they struggle to see life as anything other than sport, so they bring a peculiar perspective to a relaxing day in a field listening to great music.
There is a full essay setting out the origins and art behind The Commentators here:

Film On The Radio – Die Hard (7.30pm)
December 22nd, 2020Yippee ki yay and a ho ho ho to you all!
The Commentators are donning the sheepskins, opening up a tin of Roses and pressing play on a festive favourite. The only trouble is they can’t hear any of the dialogue…
Join them at 7.30 pm as they bring you all the action from this heart warming tale of family, office parties and snow white vests.
Listen along as you watch the film or, as it’s Christmas, just sit back with a babycham and let them do the hard work of watching it for you.
