One other thing (I'm Dave Eyre) is that we might consider swapping interviews. I have found all folk artists so helpful when asked for an interview.

And we get a lot more time than Mike.

Like John I tend to play those MH doesn't play. Also with two hours to go at I can do some specialised themes. (One recent one was "rain"), And I spent a whole programme with one artist discussing a new album.

One local BBC radio station (a non-folk programme) had four folk artists who got up from a previous night's gig, drove for an hour through rush hour traffic, spent two and half minutes on air and instead of playing their music, the station played Martha and the Vandellas.

Most local community shows aim to do better than that.
