To Mick and Lester - buckets of thanks for all you have done for folk music over the last twenty-two years and more: you and "Folkwaves" are irreplaceable and I and I suspect many others, will not care whether or not the BBC "suits" can sleep at night or not. We are all the poorer for their criminal decision but it is clear that we can no longer rely on the BBC to help preserve our national music; certainly not on a local, grassroots level. So much will be lost with the final programme - there's no point in saying that it will be excellent, because all of them were. To add a lighter note to the proceedings, it will be, as those great mates of Mick and Lester, Roaring Jelly, said of their own demise, "It's the end of an earache"! Thanks a million, fellas, you are still the best.
