Thread Name: Brand new folk show on the radio
Subject: RE: Brand new folk show on the radio
Glad to hear so many were listening. I was working in the CD booth at the union yesterday and got chatting to this guy, suddenly asked, "Are you Chris? I was listening to your show!". I also played Kate Rusby's 'My Young Man' on my Random Noises show the hour before and someone on the chatroom said "Wow, this is amazing". I love the fact that I've got a dual audience of dedicated folkies and random Junction 11 listeners!

Lindsey - Yeah I saw Seth Lakeman with John Jones and thought he was a very talented musician, if I'm not too keen on his voice. Great for spreading the word. I kind of knew there was a gap in the market but I've been bowled over by the response. Here's to Cool as Folk growing and growing! I want to get involved professionally with folk music promotion so if I can get a bit of a following now it'll do me no end of good.

Bernard - Sorry I don't have a recording. I meant to ask a friend to tape it but forgot! I'll look into the possibility of recording to minidisk. Anyone else...?

Fi - Well if you want to come along one week that'd be great. Maybe a melodeon performance is in order...

Anahata - Switiching too Radio 3? Controversial! Still glad I got it. The very first play of BELLOWhead on air ever. Can't wait till their huge! Glad you got a quality sound, I was a bit worried it wasn't up to scratch.

What did everyone makes of the Pete MacGregor track? I was really impressed with his album, he's a quality songwriter. Think a lot of them could become standards if they were widely heard.
