Jim Lloyd has retired now. Yes, it was a very good hour and featured live performances of people like Dave Burland, Isla StClair, Martyn Wyndham Reed, Jeffs Warner and Davis and many others as well as recordings past and present of performers from both sides of the Atlantic. There was always at least one thing that I liked: not so with the present Mike Harding programme. There was often another folk programme (often on a topic of some sort)as well on Wednesday night which was well worth listening to and presented by people like Martin Carthy, Maddy Prior and ... Mike Harding! When he presented these programmes they were very good. What went wrong, I wonder.
