Seems to me that there is a sinister plot to deny people the right to listen to their own folk song and music and participate in social and traditional gatherings

I wonder just how many people on aweekly basis attend folk clubs, sessions and concerts and listen in to find out who is on where and what CDs and music is available and about forthcoming Festivals

We in England have seen the gradual disappearance of our folk national culture

Big business seems to have a strangle hold on the stuff THEY would like us to listen to, folk has been held down for far too long!!

Do the BBC not have a duty to preserve our English identity? folk music is little represented currently and over the years I have seen the demise of virtually all programmes in Yorkshire with support vested in Radio Derby!!
