Absolutely right John!

And when you get to the bottom of it - isn't this whgat the Harding/Radio 2 debate is about.

A lot of people 'on the scene' feel excluded from what is seen as Harding's favourites - people who really deserve to be played like John himself, and locally to me Paul Openshaw.

But by and large - no one who really counts bears the guy any ill will, and he's probably as near to the folkscene as the BBC is comfortable with being, and as right as they are likely to get it.

But can we influence the powers that be about our one hour a week on national radio - can we buggery. No political power.
