Subject: Regional Folk Radio Shows
Hello all,

I am making a pilot folk show for BBC Radio Devon which is going to be aired on Easter Sunday at 3pm. If you are unfortunate enough not to live in Devon, you can listen online at bbc.co.uk/devon/local_radio

I know there are other regional folk shows out there but on the BBC site they are not very easy to find as there is no comprehensive list. So far i have found these:

STATION        PRESENTER        TITLE        TIME
BBC Kent        Simon Evans        Kent Folk        Sun 9pm
BBC Shropshire        Genevieve Tudor                Sun 8pm
BBC Gloucester        Johnny Coppin                Sun 3pm
BBC Merseyside        Geoff Speed        Folkscene        Thurs 9pm
BBC York        Michael Brothwell                Weds 7pm
BBC Derby        Mick Peat        Folkwaves        Mon 7pm
BBC Scotland        Archie Fisher        Travelling Folk        Sat 10pm
BBC Wales        Frank Hennessy        Celtic Heartbeat        Sat 7pm
BBC Ulster        Colum Sands        Folk Club        Sat 8pm

Could you please help me fill in the gaps of the ones i've missed? There are so many more fab programmes out there besides the Radio 2 folk show and i think people need to know about them! Many thanks - Jim
