Subject: Review: BBC Folk Programming Lacks German Folk
Ok....Where is the German Folk music on the BBC?

I listen to many hours of folk music programming on BBC.

Three programs religiously.

I hear lots of-

-american folk, blues, gospel a wide spectrum

-Lots of latin.spanish greek, turkish

-Mexican/salsa celtica

-Afro inspired, Immagined village, afro celt

-Sweedish- (tudor plays one a week)

-french

Yiddish (no its not german)

No german?

Have I missed it or maybe they just dont know about the great zither music and alpine music that is out there to say nothing of oktoberfest traditional etc....
