Hi guys,

Thanks as ever for the for the feedback. Just listening back to the show as I type.

Re: the buzz. That's obviously an ongoing problem, that needs addressing, but involves the station managers rather than me. I'm going to approach them and draw attention to it and tell them that John Spiers has kindly offered to look at it for us (to which they'll say, "Who?"!). A lot of it is a time matter, I'm in my final year at uni so have got a degree to get as well, which usually takes second place to the show, but really shouldn't! Add a job, DJing, socialising, wasting time on Mudcat etc. and it's a busy old life!

Re: Timing. Yeah I think it has been a bit rushed at the end for the last couple of shows, and I know it's annoying when they cut off at the end. If you quickly click on 'Listen to Tuesday's show at 11pm' you can hear the end of the track, but I will try and time the last track last week so we get it all in. I'm also thinking less rambling and Fee's microphone as loud as it can be from the start of the show! It's always down low when I get in the studio, I don't think the guy before us likes his co-presenter!

Re: Longer show. We're thinking about expanding Cool as Folk to two hours. I'm unsure because I don't want to loose my hour of Random Noises which gives me a chance to play the stuff I like that doesn't fit the Cool as Folk remit, but nor am I sure I want to be in the studio for three hours! Would people support a longer show or are you okay with one hour?

Treewind: No problem playing you and Mary Humphries' 'Barb'ry Ellen', it's a good album that I should play more from.

Countess Richard: Did you not like that take on 'Matty Groves'? I love it. The Leige and Lief version is amazing, but I figured it was pretty well known, and I love the rawness of that live version. Sure Richard Thompson doesn't sing like Sandy Denny, but the harshness kind of suits the lyrical content. What did everyone else think?

Mary Humphries: Glad you liked the Julie Murphy track. Her solo albums are mostly in English with a smattering of Welsh, whereas her work with Fernhill (we've played two tracks by them already) is mostly in Welsh with a wee bit of English. Can you recommend any other good Welsh language singers? I have a recording of a Welsh language traditional song by a great singer you might not neccessarily think of as folk lined up (don't worry it's not Paul Weller...).

Re: Requests. I have the new Crucible album thanks to Jess. I've not had a chance to listen to it yet, but I'll put it on the top of the pile and hopefully get them in soon! Saw them at Sidmouth and liked what I saw.

Cheers, Chris
