I just think it would be nice to have a regular folk music & song programme featuring material from the British Isles rather than from other countries on national radio.

I've nothing against 'foreign stuff', but surely a folk programme from the British Broadcasting Corporation should feature British material. We've already got Andy Kershaw whose programmes feature music from other parts of the world, and very good he is too.

Many years ago, the BBC World Service used to broadcast 'These Musical Islands', a superb programme even if it was on at somthing daft like 03.00!
