Subject: RE: UK attitudes to folk music
I think that you will find that Mike Harding's programme is on a Wednesday night from 8.00pm - 9.00pm.

But I am afraid that I am not a fan of his.

I presented a folk music programme on local radio for 19 years. The powers that be decided to scrap it, along with the Jazz music programme and Classical music. However, the Country & Western show is still going strong.

Let's face it - folk music is a minority interest. What chance have we got for its future when kids are brainwashed by the rubbish that seems to dominate TV, radio and discos etc.?
