Thread Name: The end of 'Folkwaves' on BBC
Subject: RE: The end of Folkwaves
Mick and Lester do a great job and serve a very wide community. It's a disgrace. Are you going to start a Facebook petition to save Folkwaves Julie?
We musn't forget that through the internet, people can and do listen worldwide by streaming the program. Is that recorded and taken account of?

It's very important that people write to the following person complaining about it. It's no good phoning.

Simon Cornes
56 S't Helens Street
Derby DE1 3HL

We mustn't forget, that it probably includes the closing of programs such as James McKeefry's excellent Celtic Fringe on a Wednesday from 7 to 9pm which is through Radio Leicester and serves the same regions as Folkwaves, as well as many more such programs.

These people are so valuable to keeping certain genres of music alive and kicking.
