If your radio's stuck on BBC Radio 2, then it must be buggered. Buy a new one and tune it to BBC Radio Derby or Leicester or Lincolnshire and listen to Mick Peat and me old sailing-partner-in-crime Lester Simpson on 'Folkwaves', Monday neet, 7 till 9. Superb stuff (although they too commit the heresy of playing some stuff by Johnny Foreigner - the wops and fuzzy-wuzzies get everywhere Mr. Mainwaring!) JUST JOKING!! :0)

If you're out of range I'll stake me pension that there's a Folk program on your local BBC station or one close by.

And if you moan enough to the BBC, they'll take Mike off altogether. Then there'll be no folk on mainstream radio at all and you'll be happy.
