I couldn’t find anything online about “My Kind of Folk”. The best source for information about the series will be issues of “TV Times” (Southern TV region) from early 1966, but I don’t have access to copies of these.
I did find information about guests who appeared on “Sing Out with The Settlers”, a lunchtime music show made by Tyne Tees, which was broadcast across the ITV network in 1973. It’s possible that some of these guests also appeared with the Settlers in “My Kind of Folk” in 1966.
03 Jan 1973: Roger Whittaker
10 Jan 1973: Los Zafiros
17 Jan 1973: Bonnie Dobson
24 Jan 1973: The McCalmans
31 Jan 1973: Lyn and Graham McCarthy
07 Feb 1973: Wally Whyton
14 Feb 1973: Friday Brown
21 Feb 1973: Johnny Silvo and David Moses
28 Feb 1973: Diz Disley
07 Mar 1973: The Lorne Gibson Trio
14 Mar 1973: The McCalmans
21 Mar 1973: Foggy (a.k.a. Foggy Dew-O)
28 Mar 1973: The Marion Segal Trio
04 April 1973: No special guests
It appears that the complete series of “Sing Out with the Settlers” is held at the BFI.

I found a snippet of information about “My Kind Of Folk” in “The Stage” (16 September 1965):
Terry Yarwood will be directing My Kind Of Folk, a series introduced by George Melly, and featuring folk music, blues and jazz. The resident team will include The Settlers, Weston Gavin and Davy Graham.
The series also gets a very brief mention in Colin Harper’s excellent book “Dazzling Stranger: Bert Jansch and the British Folk and Blues Revival”. In one of the footnotes, Harper provides an overview of folk music on mid-Sixties British TV:
Out in the regions George Melly was fronting My Kind Of Folk for Southern TV, Ulster TV had Swinging Folk, TWW had Folk In The West, while Grampian TV had won the Italia Prize with their documentary An Impression Of Love, featuring Ewan MacColl & Peggy Seeger.
It appears that quite a few folk music series from that era are now missing.

I think the listings of 'missing' MKOFs and other info. above is completely muddled between the assumed TVS programmes and the BBC's radio programmes (plural) of the same name.
There's information about the BBC's radio versions on Genome as programmes in their own right, and as a secondary title to such as Folk on 2. And quite a few MKOF recordings have survived and are circulating amongst folk enthusiasts. It is thought that the BBC wiped the whole lot - it rarely kept folk programmes (and still doesn't).
