Your one hour of Folk is after all the only 'English' mainstream radio Folk slot. Scotland has Travelling Folk & Ireland has Colum Sands, plus they're both 2 hour shows as as well.
Maybe the proposed shakeup of ´óÏó´«Ã½ Radio 2 will allow a 2 hour Folk Show with more time for 'live' studio guests, we can but live in hope. My two pence worth has been submitted via the ´óÏó´«Ã½ Trust's current online Survey asking for responses to the DG's proposals to (*self-moderated) the ´óÏó´«Ã½.
