Treewind - thank you!

LestheConfused - I don't choose the jingles - honest!! And if I did - cricket would be the LAST thing I'd mention!

Alan - the programme was only taken off because it was Bank Holiday, which means sport, and lots of it!! It will happen again unfortunately! I wasn't the only one to suffer - sport replaced all programmes from 2 - 8p.m.. Anyway, back next Monday with 2 guests - John Howarth is popping in to talk about the Tinkers new CD, and Martin Stimson to tell us about a new festival in Mossley which is taking place on Saturday. And yes Harry, the Extravaganza will bet good coverage...and quite rightly too!!

I try to cover all aspects of 'folk' on the programme, and hopefully the music I've played has reflected that - traditional, contemporary, local artists, blues, musicians, even poetry. What else should I be doing please? Re any criticisms, Mike Shaft told me quite early that there will always be those, and that whilst taking them on board they have to be put into context.

See you on Monday - I'm playing lots of new-ish artists who've sent me their CD's.
