Before there was YouYTube, there were Mudcat threads about More Online Concerts!

In that thread you will find links to:

1. The Kennedy Center Millenium Stage's search engine, where you can find exactly the music YOU define as "folk music". Shows are normally an hour in length, streamed. Performers include artists you know, and artists you would like to know about. All forms of gospel are represented.

2. Woodsongs Oldtime Radio Hour's Archive, which is VIDEO as well as sound, weekly, one-hour plus in length, streamed live and downloadable as sound and/or video through their archive. Again, you will find artists and music to fit YOUR definition of "folk music". Performers include artists you know, and artists you would like to know about. There is not as much gospel music here as at the Millenium Stage, but there is some now and there may be more in future and it is a good site to keep an eye on.

Some of the links in that thread may not work, but the ones I've described here work.
