Subject: RE: promotion of your trad CDs in US
FOLK-DJ is a superb source for "getting to know" SOME of the radio shows that are out there. I post playlists for my two shows, WFDU-FM'S TRADITIONS and THE SUNDAY SESSION. If you read the shows you will get an idea of what people are playing. Some shows, while they put "folk" in their title, do not touch traditional music. It is always in the best interest to check first.

For the record, my program TRADITIONS is very eclectic. My co-host Bill Hahn and I try to explore the diverse music that can be recognized as "folk". I do feel that we put an emphasis on traditional music. In addition, I have been including more English folk into the program. The audience reception has been wonderful and there aren't many shows here in the U.S. that are playing much of it. Keep it coming!!    My other program, the Sunday Session, focuses on Irish and Scottish music - under that dreaded and inaccurate word - "Celtic". WFDU-FM broadcasts to the NYC/Northern NJ area as well as on the internet at www.wfdu.fm.

I welcome recordings to sample for the program. You can send them to:

Sorry for the shameless plug (and I'm sure most of you have read this information in the past!). As a non-commercial broadcaster, I do have to look for any opportunity to spread the word. Please forgive my non-commercial commercial!
