Mike Harding

[sarah thomas]

For folkies missing Mike Harding, miserably axed by the Beeb, he has his own podcast which comes out on Sunday evenings and can be listened to any old time you like: http://www.mikehardingfolkshow.com/category/podcasts/

Apologies if this is old news.

Knowing the Beeb they will probably revamp the show and it will be presented by Mumford & Sons.

Cheers for that
Always used to listen to his show on the way to band practice. Great for getting in the mood.

I've been a big fan of Mike since I was 14 ( That's some years ago) I Played some of his material at the first gig I ever did (imagine a 15 year old doing "Talking Blackpool blues"? not really the done thing looking back, too young for that) the man is one of our most underrated musicians/comedians/presenters/broadcasters. I think after so many years at the Beeb after TV and radio, they have completely shafted him, by "letting him go" I hope in many years to come they don't eulogise about him in a fond way after sacking him 'cos I'd be the first to say "up yours BBC" ( well a more sweary version)

That's bad news re the Beeb getting rid of Mike. Thanks for giving us the link to his podcast mate.

I've not listened to the show since he left and was replaced by that boring droney chap who's doing it these days.

That URL has just joined my favourites list.
