Folk Radio WUMB 91.9 FM - is a 24 hour/7 day a week Folk Station out of Massachusetts University, Boston, USA and at least twice a year they run a week or two week fund drive for subscribers.(it is PBS Affiliated)
I have been listening to the station on and off for the last 15 years (10 as a Massachusetts resident and folk singer - and Member of WUMB).
However, last year I let my membership lapse because the station plays more and more contemporary music, and not the English traditional music that most interests me (and that I sing).
Yes, there are good weekly Celtic & Traditional sessions by Gail Gilmore & Sandy Sheehan, but very little else other than singer/songwriter and soft pop music. English music is becoming marginalised and even on occasion called "Celtic".
When I first listened it was not as bad as it is now.
Now the question is - Should I support this station again?
