I've revived this thread because I've just recieved and e-mail from Mike Shaft, the Assistant Editor at Radio Manchester GMR. In it he states that GMR would love to have a folk music programme and it has been discussed. Whether there is one depends on the availability of a suitable time slot.

I am asking for the support of local 'catters and friends to support a campaign for a radio programme on GMR by contacting Mike at mike.shaft@bbc.co.uk or by contacting him at:

                      Mike Shaft,
                      Assistant Editor,
                         BBC GMR.
                         P.O. Box 951 - Manchester,
                         M60 1SD

Thanks in anticipation.....

By the way....if you haven't done so already check out Mark Dowdings very worthy 'Ballad of the North-West' thread.

Cheers.........Harry Basnett.
