A predictably poor response from Mr. Thomas, who failed to address the important point that Folkwaves provides information on live gigs in the local area. Putting Jez Lowe on their drivetime slot is fine, but that isn't a substitute for a dedicated programme that folk music fans can make a point of tuning into. But, as is usual for BBC spokespeople appearing on 'Feedback', the attitude is one of "We've made the decision and you'll just have to put up with it". I'd be interested to see Stuart Thomas's alleged stack of emails welcoming the replacement programme.
