I was wondering if anyone in England had heard of the Folkswagon Radio Show, or of Tony Nightingale. What is you opinion of his show?

I live close enough to Manchester to be able to pick up Manchester stations, but have never heard of Perfect FM, nor is it listed in Radio Times. Is it a new station? Could you give the frequency please? I'd certainly be interested in listening to a new folk programme.

Joan, I am sorry I don't have frequency information. I received an email with this web site. http://www.folkswagon.co.uk. (Sorry I have yet to master the blue clicky.) I recorded with Oasis about a year ago.Oasis choses a cut from the CD, put out a 4 disc Compulation CD of Accoustic music groups, sending it out to over 400 clients including radio stations in the last couple of months. We are frequently heard on Public radio here in the states, especially the Mary Cliff show. This Tony Nightingale mentioned the Oasis CD in his email, he liked what he heard and asked me to send him our CD to air on his Saturday night program. I was just curious about the program and wanted some feedback from folks that may have heard the show.

Thanks for the web address. I've just visited the site and it appears that the programme's home station is Gravity FM, broadcast from Grantham (UK) on 106.6FM. It seems to operate a month at a time, and the site doesn't tell when it's next due to broadcast. It was last on the air in November/December 2000, which is when I suppose your CD would have been played. It looks as if it would be well worth a listen for those within reach if only we knew when! If you're going to get more airplay, let us know beforehand if you can, so we don't miss out!
