I have a introductory priced Sirius subscription, and an Amazon Echo dot with Alexa in the kitchen where I sometimes listen to it. I asked it to turn on "Symphony Hall" but was too slow in saying "on Sirius XM" so Alexa offered up "here's a station like Symphony Hall" and it was a nice classical station out of Birmingham, AL. I'm thinking of testing it for other Sirius sound-alike channels. Alexa usually retrieves things from I Heart Radio network, but I'm planning to explore Tune-In because it carries things like MSNBC (that Sirus also carries).

Los Cantabros from Northern Spain is excellent.

I am a big fan of Take’s Bluegrass radio channel. He has a vast library of vintage recordings you can’t find anywhere else. There is vintage country music as well.

I am a large proponent of the radio-locator website. It tells whether the station has a (known) website, you can sort by genre, location, etc.

There is tons of good radio out there - most stations stream their content these days.

That link is worth a look. If radio around the world is an interest, that may be of use to you.

The folk station "Tradcan" by "Le canard Folk" based in Belgium is returning in May. It used to be a very good station with an international mix of material, mainly but not only European.
Can people please suggest other stations on the internet which have a suitable folk music aspect. Or even stations with an interesting music element even if not purely folk ( cue usual debate about what is folk/singing horses etc)
thanks in advance
