GUEST,Guest - Pragmatist The end of 'Folkwaves' on BBC (288* d) RE: The end of 'Folkwaves' on BBC 23 Dec 10

Mick & Lester's programme was probably the best folk programme in England. (I SAY WAS BECAUSE IT IS NOT GOING TO RETURN NO MATTER HOW MUCH WE COMPLAIN - I'D LOVE TO BE PROVED WRONG!)

I know from personal experience just how much dedication Mick & Lester put into ensuring that the programme went out live when it would have been a lot easier for them to put out a pre-recorded broadcast.

I firmly believe the music will, however, despite the media and the chancers return as strong, if not stronger, than it has been.

THIS MUSIC CAN STAND ON ITS OWN. IT DOES NOT NEED THE MEDIA, GRANTS, UPDATING OR ANY OF THE OTHER MODERNISMS WITHOUT WHICH NONE OF US CAN SUPPOSEDLY SURVIVE!
