Hi,
I am pleased to say that on Radio Kent we have the excellent Sunday evening (9pm-10pm) folk offering from Simon Evans.
 
This evening, as well as national and international pieces, he covered local groups such as Cajunology (now terminated but still perpetuated for a little while longer in the form of Dindon Sauvage), the up and coming ReligOran, and other local groups. And also a good coverage of Tommy People's imminent three-stop tour of SE England, including the playing of a track from The Bothy Boys.
 
What I would like is this program on the internet, so that it can be accessed later in the week, by people who could not catch the actual program - so yes, please do write in, and plug for these things !
cheers,
     Beau Webber

Whoops. 'The Gold Country' I should have written (thanks, Brian)

I should also have pointed out that Lester promised to play some more tracks in coming weeks.

You might like some instructions on a quick route to the show and others like it. Note that you need to have a Real Player installed - available for all platforms, PC, Linux and Mac (although I believe the Mac version is without pause and fast forward). I'm on Ubuntu Linux on my wireless-linked laptop which I play through our main audio and it's very satisfactory. Also much easier to avoid all the Real Networks advertising! (just refuse all suggestions during installation on PC). There is a link to Real on the Beeb website.

To find the show: go to the BBC home page www.bbc.co.uk   and look about 3/4 of the way to the bottom of the page in the middle - there you'll see a heading RADIO and just to the right of it 'Listen to the shows you've missed' which is a link to the Radio Player. Once that is up you've a list of stations and genres to choose from - go to Music, Folk & Country and you'll see 'Folkwaves' amongst those on offer. About half the shows are folk and half country. Also available are all the Radio Ballads (old and new).

While you're at it why not write to your own local BBC Radio and ask them why there is no regular folk-based show such as many other parts of the country have (at a quick scan the nearest are Johnny Coppin in Gloucester/Oxford  and Genevieve Tudor in Hereford/Worcester/Shropshire).
