Subject: RE: Folk Programme Axed!
E-mail received from John Ryan and my reply, not that it will do any good.
John Thats not really good enough is it. The BBC is for the community and whether you think so or not, folk music has a big influence in the community. I think your decision is disgraceful and you really do not deserve to be Managing Editor BBC GMR Greater Manchester Radio. I sincerely hope that your new ideas go down the pan together with you.

Thanks for your comments concerning Sounds of Folk.
This programme is coming to an end as the station is withdrawing from all specialist music shows to concentrate on our core talk-based programming.
Plans are being made to ensure a weekly slot elsewhere in our programming with news of folk performance in Greater Manchester, and some live acoustic performances.
Thanks again for taking the trouble to email.
