Blatent self promotion of radio show. There are programmes around that try and play reasonably up-to-date traditional style music with a local diary and sometimes a diary a bit further afield. Last week's Thank Goodness It's Folk featured a Sidmouth Festival. interview with Joan Crump and played as many of the artists as I could reasonably squeeze in, and I had a couple of the ceilidh bands on as well. The Sheffield Folk Massif tend to be there in force, so the locals get to hear it anyway and the first leaflets are about to come out. I post a playlist most weeks on Mudcat. As well as 93.2 FM and via the internet - the show is available as a podcast. So no excuses if you have a computer and some time. The permathread with the playlist from October 2010 is here. And I forgot to mention Ralphie Jordan has also starred on it with his record "Eloise". And damned good it was too!
