I have just retired from the BBC after presenting both folk and blues for 32 years. I have handed over to my Grand daughter Amy-Rose Atkinson. Not only is she a talented young woman but she is also part Romany Gypsy. In my book it's ten out of ten to the Beeb for giving her the job, and hopefully training her for other broadcasting.
I personally got on reasonably well with Paul Jones when we chatted on air, however he sounds more like a vicar than a bluesman in my opinion. Each to his own.
