16 Mar 09 - 02:31 PM (#2590278) Subject: Regional Folk Radio Shows From: GUEST,Jim Causley Hello all, I am making a pilot folk show for BBC Radio Devon which is going to be aired on Easter Sunday at 3pm. If you are unfortunate enough not to live in Devon, you can listen online at bbc.co.uk/devon/local_radio I know there are other regional folk shows out there but on the BBC site they are not very easy to find as there is no comprehensive list. So far i have found these: STATION PRESENTER TITLE TIME BBC Kent Simon Evans Kent Folk Sun 9pm BBC Shropshire Genevieve Tudor Sun 8pm BBC Gloucester Johnny Coppin Sun 3pm BBC Merseyside Geoff Speed Folkscene Thurs 9pm BBC York Michael Brothwell Weds 7pm BBC Derby Mick Peat Folkwaves Mon 7pm BBC Scotland Archie Fisher Travelling Folk Sat 10pm BBC Wales Frank Hennessy Celtic Heartbeat Sat 7pm BBC Ulster Colum Sands Folk Club Sat 8pm Could you please help me fill in the gaps of the ones i've missed? There are so many more fab programmes out there besides the Radio 2 folk show and i think people need to know about them! Many thanks - Jim |

18 Mar 09 - 10:22 PM (#2592258) Subject: RE: Regional Folk Radio Shows From: Ian Fyvie Hello Jim Are you after Devon related folk songs? If yes.... Try 'Bridge the Dart" - the story of a project many years ago of The Dart Valley Railway" as was (South Devon Railway now?) to raise money to build a bridge across the River Dart so as to link their steam railway with Totnes. The lyrics were published in a free advertising magazine across South Devon in the 1990s. To have a listen. I've just put it on Myspace.com/fyviesfolk as song 6. If you can use it you should be able to download it from myspace. If you can't let me know on 01273 509552 and I can send you a copy by another mode. Best wishes for your project Ian Fyvie |
