Actually if you want more traditional folk music via the radio it's far more fruitful to try BBC Radios Scotland, Wales or Ulster, or RTE's Irish stations - all available online or through Sky Digital - than any of Radios 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 or 7.

Unfortunately the BBC seems to think that things ENGLISH and traditional just means 'Last Night of the Proms' stuff.
