Subject: RE: BBC Folk Awards- Open and clear
Thank you.

I am not intending to go back to Feedback since - FOR ME - I feel it would be a waste of time. It would look like I am trying for a second go and criticising the firm that made the programme. They weren't perfect but neither am I and I am not naive enough to think my words would not be cut. (Though I tried to be succinct). At least they did not move them around.

If folk performers or those others who have read this thread, are prepared to contact "Feedback" either via the BBC website or via the production company "Testbed Productions" mail@tesbed.co.uk then I would be happy to re-appear on the programme - or listen to someone else do it. Not bothered either way. The contact is Penny Vine. They have gone back to programmes before so if there are enough of you prepared to be "Disgusted of Tunbridge Wells" or in Les's case "of Chorlton" or Ruth Archer's case "of Ambridge" then they may take notice.

It might be worth making the point that people are actually afraid to appear on the programme because of S.O.'s monopoly.

And to "Guest" I can promise you that no-one has broken any confidences, or even dropped any hints, simply that I managed to add 2+2.
