So Western Suze, are you suggesting that those you mention are/were, not folk singers?
I would also be interested to know, why you expected an all traditional programme. It was never its remit as far as I know.

I'm not suggesting anything. I was merely commenting on a previous poster's suggestion that Folk On 2 was more traditional and has been watered down ever since. I disagree. It has always been MOR cosy bland, At one time it was called Country Meets Folk (known out here in the stick as "Country Swamps Folk").

I'm not expecting much change either. It will continue the bland easy listening format designed to not frighten that horse which nobody has heard sing. The Krusby quotient should stay constant. Its Radio 2, for heaven's sake, that's what they do. The only thing I hope is that we won't have to put up with his pal Barbara Dickson at the bloody folk awards any more, assuming they're not next for the chop, which has to be on the cards.
