Thread Name: The end of 'Folkwaves' on BBC
Subject: RE: The end of Folkwaves
Local radio (kickball) might be listened to by non-licence payers, but it is not run for their benefit. Only the licence-payer should have their say, and we are angry.

I am a little surprised about the lack of response from, shall we say, "famous names", the sort of people who are interviewed, performed live, and have tracks played regularly on Folkwaves, who will now have less pulicity and folk profile without the GigGuide. How else are clubs and sessions going to let everyone know in one place, what is going on?

I implore everyone to get as much mileage of publicity against this stupidity, as soon as possible, and get some Christmas cards sent to Folkwaves.

Long live Mike & Lester
