I dont think anybody weould expect you 2 to make waves, that wouldn't be a smart move.

Do any of the folkclubs donate to charities run by GMR?

The reason I ask this, is that if you remember I did the Yellowbellies CD with Tom Lane and all the artists donated for nowt.
Who got this money - Radio Lincolnshire for their Gold Appeal - well over £1000.
Lincolnshire Folk Have also donated in different ways to Radio Lincolnshire Gold Appeal.
I am pretty sure other folk clubs and performers have in one way or another donated to this excellent appeal.
With that in mind, I think we should get a better deal, and maybe even more money can be donated to this appeal, by getting a better deal.

There must be ways that we can show them that the folk world is caring and do a lot for the community that should be reflected in local radio.

Look at the folk festivals - they must bring an awful lot of extra indirect and direct money to the communities of those areas where they are held.

There must be lots of examples where the folk scene across the country have contributed to the community.

Maybe everybody should be posting on here what they have done for the benefit of the community and especially local BBC Radio.
