Thread Name: BBC - Commitment to folk music??
Subject: BBC - Comitment to folk music??
In light of the upcoming BBC folk awards (see other thread) I was wondering what others thought of the BBC's commitment to Folk Music - I personnally think it is completely crap! They give us one programme a week on radio two, show bits of the Cambridge Folk Festival, Local Radio does a bit a tiny bit and anything else is confined to the new digital chanels. Which,incidentally, a huge protion of the population can't access either because of technology requirements or there is no signal in their area.

What do you think!

BBC = Load of Cobblers!
