Folklincs on the Burnsy Show
BBC Radio Humberside.

Folklincs were featured on BBC local radio when Carol Dawson appeared live on Radio Humberside's multi-award-winning Burnsy Show in March 2023. The programme was sadly later axed as part of wide-ranging BBC cuts - but Carol's fluent contribution was a great promotion for Folklincs.
