Radio 3 continuity announcers say, "For full details, see the Folk Connections website." But there isn't a front page! At least, I can't find one. There are pages for individual programmes - with lots of interesting clips - but there is no description of the whole weekend. Very strange. Coming up next in Music Matters, 12:15 onwards Folk Connections: Folk and classical connections As part of Radio 3's Folk Connections weekend, Tom Service talks to folk musician Sandra Kerr, classical music writer and broadcaster Stephen Johnson, and music historian & ethnographer Philip Bohlman about the boundaries between folk and classical genres and the appropriation of folk music into classical repertoire.
