Micheal Brothwell, radio york, puts out "North Yorkshire Folk", it's a one hour show shortly to be extended to two hours. In so far as last week it was getting the most "hits" on the "listen again" facility on the web site. I think money is the root cause of the problem. His is a reasonably low budget show, most of us waiving the performing rights fee. (otherwise you don't get on!. He does get to speak to some "known performers" supplemented by locals. Just about anyone with a cd to promote would be considered.
It's intrigueing that other folk programmes are being pulled when others are expanding? (well at lewast one!)
