Both Mike Harding's prog and Scotland's Travelling Folk have become more about World music.

For traditional song in Scotland, the best shows to hear trad song on are Robbie Shepherd (Scotland)and Billy Anderson (Tay A.M). Both Robbie and Billy play songs and tunes by performaers who are working the folk scene - clubs, concert halls, pubs and hotels.

One of the liveliest folk clubs that I've played at is Dalgety Bay in Fife, where the audience behave as if they are wanting to share in having a good night out rather than hear the latest in Andean Nose flute tunes.

There is a place for everything and a balance would be good to hear on radio.
