I would have happily taken over Folk on 2 from Mike Harding, but I would have still got him in to noodle on his guitar as he rapped the charts - to me, that's as iconic as 'Sailing By' & 'The Shipping Forecast'. My idea of The Perfect Folk Show would be 80% archive field-recordings (the 'Theme Tune' would be Josesph Taylor singing Brigg Fair), 10% Traddy floor singers from around the clubs, 5% alt. folk weirdness & vintage pastoral electronica / prog all mashed up into a Westwood style collage with 5% random wildlife recordings & church bells. Is that 100%? I never did have too good a concept of number...

Tim Westwood is my radio hero, BTW - his passion for the music is on a par with the respect he's got from the Hip-Hop community. Mike's like that too actually - as much as I like Mark Radcliffe, I doubt you'd find him in a session with the great Hugh O' Donnell & pals in the Marine Hall bar over the Fylde weekend. And whilst Mike didn't play our album on his show, that's cool by me because I can say that whilst Radio 2 didn't play it, Radio 3 played it twice! Kudos & Credibility! Coo. So that's THREE TIMES I've been on Radio Three in 12 years - getting to be a habit...
