BBC - Country Meets Folk - 1&2 (1970s) [RadioRip(mp3)]

This was recorded sometime in the 1970s. Country Meets Folk was a long running from the 1960s to the at least the 1970s. It was invariably recorded at the Playhouse Theatre near Charing Cross compered by Wally Whyton. Brian Brocklehurst was the supporting session bass player. Free tickets were available for the Friday sessions, which were then aired on Saturday evenings on the BBC Light Programme. Versions were issued on transcription disks distributed to many overseas broadcasting companies such as the NZBC. There are no known recordings in the public domain.

An associated programme also compered by Wally Whyton was aired on the BBC World Service called 'Folk & Country British Style.' Only one known copy survives (recorded from short wave).
