Listening to the second programme now.
Is there a replayer, or even a playlist archive? Can't yet find one.

It's a very relaxed and informative presentational style but just a bit overbearingly Scottish (which is scarcely surprising, given the presenter's provenance).
But what's instantly striking is how retro it is.
The most recent track so far has been one from Malinky, and even that had Karine Polwart on lead vocals and it must be at least two years since she left.

I waited in vain for Croft No 5, Peatbogs, Shooglenifty, Kris Drever or indeed anything that's happening now in Scotland. Ireland got a tiny look-in with an ancient track from Irvine/Brady and (good grief) The Chieftains.

Oh well. Maybe it'll be Susana Seivane and Kepa Junkera are scheduled for next week?
