» chandlerray - Welcome thanks

Many thanks for your welcome message, Barrie.

Celtic music is enjoying increasing popularity everywhere, it seems.

Also, there is a growing interest in Canadian traditional music here in the UK, so you are in a folk hot-spot yourself!

Thanks again and best wishes.

Ray

» tmelaine - welcome!!

Welcome to the Suite, Ray.

I enjoy folk music of all kinds, here in mid-Michigan. We are fortunate that the Public Radio Station out of Michigan State University devotes it's Sunday evenings to folk music (6-10pm).

The line-up includes The Folk Tradition:

The Folk Sampler: http://www.folksampler.com/
The Thistle and Shamrock: http://www.npr.org/programs/thistle/
and Celtic Connections: http://www.siu.edu/~celtic/

I also enjoy A Prairie Home Companion on Saturday evenings: http://www.phc.mpr.org/

I would like more, but that is actually a lot for around here.

Thanks for the welcome, Elaine.

You are certainly not alone in wishing there was more folk and traditional music on the radio. Here in England the coverage is pitiful.

And I wish it wasn't tucked away in special 'minority interest' programming.

In Ireland lots of traditional music is played on national radio just as part of the normal output. This helps maintain the much higher public regard for this type of music.

Cheers
Ray

» chandlerray - Thanks for thanks

Thanks for your message, Eberhard. I'm pleased to have offered some new thoughts. Whether they are useful or not is another matter, but they keep me amused!
I like the more personal style of your Rock page, and I'll try to develop that myself. I guess learning from each other is what this is all about.
Cheers,
Ray

» swg - folk on the radio

I agree that Engish radio is pitiful when it comes to folk music. Luckily on the borders, in Northumberland, we can receive Radio Scotland which has excellent coverage. The Scots and Irish really do have a living tradition.
