Kate Bramley Steps Down as Radio BritFolk Coordinator.

Kate Bramley is stepping down as coordinator of Radio BritFolk. After coming to the end of the grant funding from the lottery, it had been the station's ambition to become self-supporting by this point, but the absence of a staff member dedicated to sponsorship and fundraising has meant that shows can now be produced only on a voluntary basis.

Bramley has been troubled in recent months by health problems affecting her sight, and so will be taking some time out on doctors orders. Kate told Radio BritFolker's "I believe we've all made a great contribution to a really powerful project. Just a glance back through the archives shows what a wealth of music and comment has been created- and I really hope you will be able to continue to push the station onwards. A heartfelt thanks to you all."

Radio Britfolk is dedicated to promoting the traditional music of Wales, Ireland, Scotland and England. It is a volunteer not-for-profit project co-ordinated by professional musicians.
