Right - I launched two identical threads on the BBC Radio Message Boards (one on "Folk & Acoustic" and one on the general board) on the subject of getting more airtime for folk.

It would be good if some of us followed through with a discussion there on the subject. But PLEASE avoid rehashing the Mike Harding/Smooth Operations "good"/"Bad" arguments. These have already been aired there and the known response was already elicited. Stay on the subject of more airplay, please.
