From: BobKnight I read over on Celtic Footstompin Forum, that Archie Fisher is to be replace on BBC Scotland's Travelling Folk. Apparently he announced it himself on last week's programme. It gonna be another big mistake from the Beeb. |

From: EnglishFolkfan Archie's been on holiday & had time to reflect, besides which he deserves to enjoy 'retirement' and have time to be free to go when & where he likes. There are many excellent people who have held the reins when he's been on his breaks before and I'd be happy to see the hosting done on a shared basis to allow those Folk folks a chance to fit it in with their touring schedules. |
