Anker Folk Cast List

"Anker Folk " on Anker Radio celebrates its second birthday on September 3rd. We've lost count of all the hours broadcast in terms of Special holiday shows, Christmas features and repeats. But for those (to quote my good friend Pete Clemons) who "like this sort of thing" here to commemorate the anniversary,is a roll of honour. Some evocative names here!
