BBC 4 seems to have created a niche for itself- particularly on a Friday night. Since the beginning of the year, I've seen (repeats) of Cambridge, Martin Carthy, Christie Moore and a documentary on Nick Drake. Tonight I will mostly be taping a documentary on Richard Thompson. There are also two programmes devoted to Celtic Connections scheduled. Mainstream Radio 2 has a folk champion in Stuart Maconie -he usually includes at least one folk giant in his Critical List programme on Saturdays. And of course Johnny Walker provided our friend Ralphie with a significan chunk of programme. I make a point of emailing the Beeb every time they do something right with Folk - please do likewise to demonstrate to them that we are a market slice worth catering for.
