James McKeefry is just like Mick & Lester from Folkwaves.
He is very professional and gives the same outstanding service to fringe music.

So much has been said on the Folkwaves thread and thsi is exactly the same situation.

I don't know how many people listen to Celtic Fringe, but just like Folkwaves, should not be able to die.

Just to remind you

Clause 5.3 of the BBC local radio remit under the BBC Local Radio Service Licence as published by the BBC Trust issued 27 March 2009 viz:

5.3 Stimulating creativity and cultural excellence: BBC Local Radio should contribute to this purpose amongst its audience. It should provide ...opportunities for new and emerging musicians from the local area and support local arts and music events by providing event information. Music output should be mainstream in peaktime and include specialist in off-peak hours. Specialist music should be appropriate to the area. Current and recent chart hits should represent no more than 15% of weekly music output."

Do we love BBC - oh no we don't
