These are the folk prgrammes that the Beeb couldn't be ar$ed to archive. Like Folkweave, Folk on 2, Folk '76 (etc.), even the peioneering London FolkSong celar, Cellar Full of Folk, Country Meets Folk, etc., etc. etc., the Beeb categoricaly failed to archive anything. Did they Archive Mike Harding - no. What about Mark Radcliffe - no. This was even more acute for early folk programmes such as Music of the People, The Song Carriers, Ballad / Song Hunter, A-Roving, etc., - no. And as for regional folk progammes even now they are not archived. But we do have some Travelling Folks. I'll lok in our archives.
