Thread Name: Mike Harding Campaign - get him reinstated
Subject: RE: Mike Harding Campaign - get him reinstated
I'm all for Radders myself - a smart, knowledgable and witty presenter, and a folkie to boot.

He once described being bottom of the bill at Cambridge FF (as frontman of the Family Mahone) as the highlight of his career, such is his love of folk. He led the Cambridge FF coverage on Sky Arts this year and did a pretty good job in my opinion.

Change is inevitable - I've nothing against Mike Harding but the show has, over the years, become many things but certainly not exciting. Harding's not being abandoned to a life of penury sleeping in a cardboard box under Charing Cross bridge (as Christy Moore might put it) - I think he's probably going to surive, don't you?

Embrace the change, and give Radcliffe a chance. You might just be pleasantly surprised.
