Subject: RE: Folk music broadcasting
Sounds of Folk, presented by Ali O'Brien (Alio on Mudcat) and produced by me was on BBC GMR (now Radio Manchester) from May 2003 to April 2006. We were on air every Monday (sports coverage permitting) from 8.00pm to 9.00pm, and I have archive recordings of almost every broadcast, and a complete list of all the guests we interviewed.

Nowadays we broadcast on Oldham Community Radio 99.7fm (also online) on Mondays from 7.00pm to 8.00pm, repeated at the same time on Fridays. I have archive recordings of all but one broadcast (equipment hiccup!), and the guest list.

Tonight our guest is Brian Preston - listen in if you can!

Rob Dunford maintains an up to date listing in Folk North West magazine, and Mark Dowding mirrors it on their website: Wireless Waves... you'll also find archive photos from Sounds of Folk, too!
