Subject: RE: BBC GMR Axes Community Programmes!
Well I was on Radio Lincolnshire last night for their Folk broadcast (25 minutes at the end of drivetime)with Tom Lane. It was very tight and Tom ran out of time.
Started with a number from The Harbour Lights and a little conversation about them.
Then a quickly about Graham Moore & Gill Redmond coming to my club and a song from Graham.
Then Tom had a telephone interview with a lady singer (name slips my mind) about a ladies choir that was setting up.
Tom was supposed to play a number of hers, but didn't have time, as Mark Addison had to do the diary.
By the time that was finished it was too late to put a tune or song on.

I thought it was a real shame. I think it should be an hour so that justice could be done.

So I guess I am saying that you should be fighting to keep the hour. 30 minutes is not enough.
