Subject: RE: Folk Music on Irish & UK Radio
also on Downtown, Maurice Leyden with Fokal POint, Sun 10-11 pm UK/Irish time. Raidio na Gaeltachta has a lot of music, especially Béal Maidine 7-9 am Sat/Sun, also programmes most evenings at 7 pm. Raidio nan Gaidheal (BBC) also has some folk and BBC Radio Scotland has good programmes, esp. Travelling Folk, including a long slot on Sat nights. Mike Harding is on BBC radio 2 Wed 8-9 pm. I don't know if BBC Radio Ulster is on line; Colm Sands presents a folk programme Sat 10-12 pm. I think PJ Curtis has the world music programme I came across by chance a couple of times; maybe he or someone else can give details.
How odd that you have to listen to internet radio because you can't get local WFUV!
I remember reading an early science fiction book called Looking Backwards. The wireless hadn't been invented yet, but the author "invented" radio programmes via telephone.
