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

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

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

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.

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.

Los Cantabros from Northern Spain is excellent.

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).
