It's official Folk is on the up and up.  For anyone who still thinks that folk music is the domain of old men in arrun knit sweaters then think again!

If any of you love folk music of the contempory or traditional kind then a great way to hear some fantastic tracks then tune into the BBC's radio player.

It's one of my ways of staying sane and keeping up with the music of my roots. My favorite shows are:
Travelling Folk
Global Gathering - Celtic & lots of Salsa and Indian in the mix too!
Folk Club
Culan

Just been listening to Travelling Folk and heard an old friend from school, who is a professional fiddle player, playing. Small world.
 Go for it and enjoy the tunes!
