Dave Higham The end of 'Folkwaves' on BBC (288* d) RE: The end of 'Folkwaves' on BBC 18 Dec 10

I haven't had the time this week to "listen again" to Folkwaves until today. What a blow. Until I got broadband 4 or 5 years ago I'd been totally out of touch with the UK folk scene since I moved to France in 1987. Folkwaves put me back in touch and I've listened almost every week since. Now it's being taken from me. Sickening. Yes, there are a few other local radio folk shows, but they are only very pale imitations (and one or two are dire). First Archie Fisher... now this.

It's true that Mick and Lester did sound very upbeat on Monday night, but I think they probably decided that that was the only way to go out, (it was their last live show) and not to let the bastards grind them down.

If you happen to read this, Mick and Lester, I'd just like to thank you for the pleasure your show has given me in the few years I've been able to listen.
