Since posting on here I've had a few queries about how the station works:

So just to confirm: When I add music it gets placed in a large pool of music held on a server, currently 1100 tracks and growing, from which a daily playlist is created. Software is used to help produce a daily 24 hour playlist, although I tinker around with this to get it right. Tracks added rotate over time to ensure they get played at different times of the day. The pool of music is added to every week (176 new tracks were added last week) and some tracks are removed.

For each new Album received I do a promotion on the website with a link back to the artist's website or the record label so listeners can buy the album if they wish.

The music played is Traditional British Folk and Celtic music.

I also add a lot of back catalogue material from my own collection which I don't always do promos on, simply because, if I did, my wife would probably leave me. I do it all in my spare time, after the kids have gone to bed and late into the night...


Thanks for the very supportive emails by the way

Cheers

Alex
